Black Dust

Verse 1

Deep roots

Twisted timber knots

Under veil of the ancient oak

Gray moss hangs like a shroud

Rustling

Secrets

Magic whispers across the land

Cold wind bites at the body

Empty hollows

Chorus

Black dust falling

(Black dust settling)

Down into the lungs of the lost

Banished into the nether woods

(Banished into the nether woods)

Where the sun never finds the floor

Black dust falling

(Black dust settling)

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Hollow

Oh oh

Buried

Verse 2

Stagger

Limping through the pines

Those unfortunate

Marked by the soot and the charcoal ash

Fever

Tremble

Black dust touching those unfortunate

They wither beneath the heavy bark

No path

No gate

No way back home

Gone

Chorus

Black dust falling

Black dust settling

Down into the lungs of the lost

Banished into the nether woods

Banished into the nether woods

Where the sun never finds the floor

Black dust falling

Black dust settling

Bridge

I saw the shadow

I saw the smoke

I saw the end

The trees are hungry

The trees are waiting

The trees are closing in

Locked in the timber

Locked in the dark

Locked in the silence

Chorus

Black dust falling

Black dust settling

Down into the lungs of the lost

Banished into the nether woods

Banished into the nether woods

Where the sun never finds the floor

Black dust falling

Black dust settling

Outro

Nether woods

Nether woods

Falling

Settling

Black dust

Under the oak
