The Age Gasping

Verse 1

Ashvattha tree rotting from the base

The heavy branches can no longer hold onto the fading light

White petals fall like scales across this hollow place

Vedas became mirrors that show us exactly what we want to believe

I hear the sap running thick and cold

Quiet things breathing inside the dark

Waiting for the end to start

Old stories left behind in the mud

Pre-Chorus

Between the word and truth

Something is hungry now

Something is waking up

Something has been feeding well

Chorus

Can you hear the age gasping

Can you hear it dying slow

Falling into the mouth of time

Everything we thought we knew is gone

Everything we thought we knew is gone

Verse 2

I stood by the river where the ghosts go

Silent waves pulling at the hem of my dirty shirt

You spoke to me through the empty air

Promises turning into thin grey smoke that I cannot grasp

Maybe you saw the change coming

Maybe I just wanted to hide

Lies stacked up high against the wall

Built to keep out the gathering rain

Pre-Chorus

Between the word and truth

Something is hungry now

Something is waking up

Something has been feeding well

Chorus

Can you hear the age gasping

Can you hear it dying slow

Falling into the mouth of time

Everything we thought we knew is gone

Everything we thought we knew is gone

Bridge

Look at the roots

Blackened and dry

Reach for the water

Reach for the ground

Reach for the shadow

Tricolon falling down to the earth

Chorus

Can you hear the age gasping

Can you hear it dying slow

Falling into the mouth of time

Everything we thought we knew is gone

Everything we thought we knew is gone

Everything we thought we knew is gone

Everything we thought we knew is gone
