Roots Seep Knowledge

Verse 1

Deep down

Below the heavy frozen ground

The black soil swallows every sound

Rotting

Flesh and bone

A cold throne

Cold stone

I feel the roots begin to creep

Tapping secrets while you sleep

Chorus

The roots know the fallen

The branches hear the calling

Deep in the mud where blood runs dry

Beneath the earth

Beneath the sky

They remember

They remember

They remember

Verse 2

Dust

Turning gray

Washed away

Silver hair and jagged teeth

Something hungry waits beneath

Twisting fibers

Twisting lies

Nature never dies

Stronger

It feeds on the weak

No one hears the dead men speak

Chorus

The roots know the fallen

The branches hear the calling

Deep in the mud where blood runs dry

Beneath the earth

Beneath the sky

They remember

They remember

They remember

Bridge

Cut the bark

Blood is black

Never coming back

I see the truth in the rings

I see the end of all things

They swallow the light

They swallow the night

Guitar Solo

Chorus

The roots know the fallen

The branches hear the calling

Deep in the mud where blood runs dry

Beneath the earth

Beneath the sky

They remember

They remember

They remember

Outro

Buried deep

Final sleep

Roots hold tight

End of light

They know

They know

They know

The fallen
