Songtext von Human Artifact

Winding roots slither into in the soil We rest with the stones and shadows The sunlight burrows deep Dancing through cracks in the soil And whispers of the dead guide us to the sky Measuring the starsas they guide the evening’s teeth Deep into my soft flesh Past secrets uncoil like hidden serpents Becoming part of our blood and bone Feathered gods sing to Mother Earth Disguised in tattered robes She sleeps where the air is milder And sings to forget her woes Muffled suffering from a thousand wounds Comfort from a song A song that is charged with a thousand words And uttered from a thousand tongues Death cannot intimidate me The fury and calamity Of a world unable to bend my will These limbs I wear only for show I remain a statue A shadow beneath the dead leaves Blind to the beauty and deaf to the sounds Aching with the birth of each new day Helpless, yet wiser than I will be today What I hold in my handsIs the weight of all things Death cannot intimidate me The fury and calamity Of a world unable to bend my will These limbs I wear only for show Helpless, yet wiser than I will be today What I hold in my heartIs the way of all things
