No Color, No Light

(album: The Banished Heart - 2018)

Limbs out stretched and reaching for the sun
But only a glimmer remains
Tethered to this place of neglect
Roots reaching no sustenance

Come away with me
I'll show you where
The waters run forever

Aged by fire
Warped by winds
Forced to strive to live against
This insidious way
This perilous fight
This treacherous place of your demise

Along the cracks decay begun
Warped and weathered shades of holding on
Your rings of age will grow no more
Outnumbered from the nevermore

Aged by fire
Warped by winds
Forced to strive to live against
This insidious way
This perilous fight
This treacherous place of your demise

Where I come from, are branches made of gold
A sign of the remnant, sun, sun, sun

The waters run, your roots will never thirst
A stream of forever, ever more

Don't wait, don't wait, don't wait...
I am calling, head my calling

Don't wait, don't wait, don't wait...
I am calling, head my calling

I have conquered it, your days will have no end
A sign of the remnant, sun, sun, sun

Oh evergreen, reining tower of the sky
Your roots reach forever, ever more

Don't wait, don't wait, don't wait...
I am calling, head my calling

Don't wait, don't wait, don't wait...
I am calling, head my calling

Don't wait, don't wait, don't wait...
I am calling, head my calling

Don't wait, don't wait, don't wait...
I am calling, head my calling

Limbs out stretched and reaching for the sun
But only a glimmer remains

Come away with me
I'll show you where
The waters run forever
