Branches Lyrics

A change is in the air

A northern wind blows through

And the nights are drawing closer

The sun sinks in the sky

Bathed in burning light

And another die is daying

When I awake

Will the world have turned away

When all roads

All lead the same way

I'll find a place where I can hide away

When the sky's on fire

And a smoke hangs on the air

(I've lost my way)

Throw us on the pyre

For another fallow year

(I've lost my way again)

I know the sun is dying

I will find my burrow to lie in

But there's one thing I must do

As all the winters I've been through

Wrest the sun out of its tomb

Or the son of man is doomed

When the sky's on fire

And a smoke hangs on the air

Throw us on the pyre

For another fallow year

Who'll light my way

Now look what's become of me

We got lost in the summer

We thought it would last

What we thought would last forever

Is turning to dust

As the axis turns

We are all grieving

The world wont turn in reverse

No matter how you reason

Now look what you have turned into
