Wetland Lyrics

One step into uncertainty

Swampy deathbed welcoming

Heartless, abstract art

Defiant heart's dream, unknown calling

Uncertain step taunting

Losing sight of my feet

Descent, then hope hesitating

A man slowly miring

Behold, the cleansing of conceit

The filth in which I sink

Nameless Hope, in wetland's quicksand we meet

Common branches with uncommon reach

Longing for life, godlike hand grasping me

Lost soul, alone, wandering

Troubled mind slowly bearing

Emergent life and new faces

Holding strong under strained roots aching

Green nature, face half in peat

Now on my side lying

Clouded sight, one eye gazing

Sunlight beaming, through the leaves blazing

Behold, the cleansing of conceit

The filth in which I sink

Nameless Hope, in wetland's quicksand we meet

Common branches with uncommon reach

Longing for life, godlike hand grasping me

Suffocating feat, eternal feeling

The time between God's blink

First time truly fighting, the clash of armies meet

Sinking I pull up my knees, fighting to breathe

Underneath the heavens

The beauty of grey clouds and skies that weep

All the while, mortal man upon the ground

Sinks, slowly sinks

The young cypress climbs

It's heart longs with reaching arms

Soon to be humbled

Slipping I embrace its showing roots

In wetland's quicksand

Here lies Man
