The Barrens Lyrics

Heart, beating stone, marring flesh, bending bone

(and their tears fall from on high)

Bright budding crone, slay in peace, love alone

(slashing rain across the barrens)

Blood that salts the earth, maiden battle birth

Fist that cleaves the sea, shattered sky of green

Heart, beating stone, marring flesh, bending bone

(and their voices from on high)

Bright budding crone, slay in peace, love alone

(sowing truth across the barrens)

Shadows, painted by the rain Ghosts, memories trapped in dark hallways

At your back, burned to black, killed for love, none above
Heart, beating stone, marring flesh, bending bone

(and their arrows rain down)

Bright budding crone, slay in peace, love alone

(shaping justice in the barrens)

Ghosts, silently contained

Trapped between shadows of young and silver days

I've held onto that for so long

I can't give it back
