Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now that the sun won't shine
Slow down and take your time
Don't lose your mind it's all
Soul destroying lies
[Verse 2]
I've walked for miles past the sacred halls (Sacred halls)
My fists have bled as I smashed the walls (Smash the walls)
Through this assault
A voice says, "Halt
You're not supposed to be here"
[Verse 3]
I saw my grave (I saw my grave)
I see no future
Am I insane (Am I insane)
Woven by the fabrics of the
[Verse 4]
Dark roots of the Earth
Echoes an eternity
Dark roots of the Earth
Will see us home eventually
[Verse 5]
Now that the sun won't shine
My world was left behind
All mankind will rise and fall
Will anyone survive?
[Verse 6]
Will we be saved? (Will we be saved)
Is there a future left
What will it take (What will it take)
Woven by the fabrics of the
[Verse 7]
Dark roots of the Earth
Echoes an eternity
Dark roots of the Earth
Will see us home eventually, that's right
[Verse 8]
Now that the sun won't shine
Slow down and take some time
The sands of time will fall
Left to our demise
[Verse 9]
You hear the cries through the sacred halls (Sacred halls)
The people pray to their God they call (God they call)
To save the Earth for its rebirth
Are we supposed to be here?
[Verse 10]
I saw my grave (I saw my grave)
I see no future here
Am I insane (I am insane)
Woven by the fabrics of the
[Verse 11]
Dark roots of the Earth
Echoes an eternity
Dark roots of the Earth
Will see us home eventually
Dark roots of the Earth
Echoes an eternity
Dark roots of the Earth
Will see us home eventually
