Return To Ashes

from Elpis by Hive

/

lyrics

Could this land be a prison?
for us to live in eternal torment
Not a prison for our bodies
one that imprisons our thought imprisons our minds
when a light is lit a shadow cast
unable to read while flooded with light
when darkness is at its darkest
stars shine the brightest

As I sit in this desolate place
reflecting on what it once was,
I feel a strange presence,
one that I thought was lost

A bonding feeling with all that is around me
A connection with nature

As I sit on the remains that was once a monument
A pinnacle of life and its beauty divine
A life form severed, cut from existence
A shrine to all that has been lost

based in carbon to nature I shall return
ashes to ashes I shall return to the earth

nature will strike with a blind vengeance
Revenge for the years of torture and slavery


As I sit in this desolate place
reflecting on what it once was,
I feel a strange presence,
one that I thought was lost

The alignment of the stars,
Patterns made from light.
Directing my vision northward
What is it you wish me to see?

Rivers of Jade depleted
A beast forged from arbor and stone
Boulders Split to forge a path
The skyline scorched with the fire of life
