Valediction lyrics

Underneath the blackest soil I lay down my warm, beating heart And deep beneath the frozen ground I bury down my deepest thoughts Because the road I've chosen Is free of fortune and desire Or the mundane toil and worry Because the trail I've taken Leads down into the darkest shores Where the stars have passed away Tonight, the world is burning Black smoke hides the skies Tonight, dark clouds rising up Swirling, shadows engulf the land Shadows engulf the land By the side of forsaken path I leave behind my old shadow Into the deep under these shores I drown my broken memories Because the road I've chosen Is free of fortune and desire Or the mundane toil and worry Because the trail I've taken Leads down into the darkest shores Where the stars have passed away 'Cause tonight, the world is burning Black smoke hides the skies Tonight, dark clouds rising up Swirling, shadows engulf the land Shadows engulf the land For something to change Something has to give For something to grow Something has to yield (I kiss the light goodbye) 'Cause tonight, the world is burning Black smoke hides the skies Tonight, dark clouds rising up Swirling, shadows engulf the land Shadows engulf the land
