Thorns And Brambles Lyrics

Black rivers hard as stone, lined with corpses of our own
Through the bloodied trees, carving though our canopies

Through the forest, cutting through the forest floor
(Scars of man, furrows though our lands)

All the cities toils, defeats our forest lore
(Broken nails, filthy, filthy hands)

Spiderwebs of steel and stone
Subdivide our given home
Rememberance of ancestrial sage
Thorns and brambles of a different age

We will not be thrown away
We will not be torn
We will never fall astray
We've seen your kine before

Black rivers hard as stone, with corpses of our own
Through the bloodied trees, carving though our canopies

Through the quiet, cutting though the forest floor
(Scars of man, furrows though our lands)

Ghostly silent, All the trees are long since gone
(Broken nails, filthy, filthy hands)

Spiderwebs of steel and stone
Subdivide our given home
Rememberance of ancestrial sage
Thorns and brambles of a different age

We will not be thrown away
We will not be torn
We will never fall astray
We've seen your kind before

Black rivers hard as stone, lined with corpses of our own 
Through the bloodied trees, carving though our canopies

Through the forest, cutting through the forest floor 
(Scars of man, furrows though our lands)

All the cities toils, defeats our forest lore 
(Broken nails, filthy, filthy hands)

Spiderwebs of steel and stone 
Subdivide our given home 
Rememberance of ancestrial sage 
Thorns and brambles of a different age

We will not be thrown away 
We will not be torn 
We will never fall astray 
We've seen your kine before

Black rivers hard as stone, with corpses of our own 
Through the bloodied trees, carving though our canopies

Through the quiet, cutting though the forest floor 
(Scars of man, furrows though our lands)

Ghostly silent, All the trees are long since gone 
(Broken nails, filthy, filthy hands)

Spiderwebs of steel and stone 
Subdivide our given home 
Rememberance of ancestrial sage 
Thorns and brambles of a different age

We will not be thrown away 
We will not be torn 
We will never fall astray 
We've seen your kind before

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I'm a bit surprised no one has commented on this one yet. Perhaps because the meaning is too obvious...?

In any case, I absolutely love this song.
