Testo Tomorrow's Grave

Testo Tomorrow's Grave

The scent of the wind it is filled with our sins
The ashes of promises never fulfilled

Before the night I saw the setting sun
One lullaby for all we should have done
As the earth went dry my heart was filled with shame
Today a home and tomorrow a grave
Well, now I'm wiser, now I understand
I'm the drought, I'm the barren land
I'm the flooding and the rising tide
I'm the heat, the wind, the fire and ice

I drеamt of trees and I dreamt of fur
I felt my shape bеgin to fade and blur
Climbed up branches, read the bark like words
What have I ever given up in return?

The sky was gone when at last I awoke
Daylight trapped behind a deadly cloak
The silence speaks like a muted scream
The pain of nothing and no air to breathe
