No Color, No Light

Limbs out stretched and reaching for the sun
But only a glimmer remains
Tethered to this place of neglect
Roots reaching no sustenance
Come away with me
I’ll show you where
The waters run forever
Aged by fire
Warped by winds
Forced to strive to live against
This insidious way
This perilous fight
This treacherous place of your demise
Along the cracks decay begun
Warped and weathered shades of holding on
Your rings of age will grow no more
Outnumbered from the nevermore
Aged by fire
Warped by winds
Forced to strive to live against
This insidious way
This perilous fight
This treacherous place of your demise
Where I come from, are branches made of gold
A sign of the remnant, sun, sun, sun
The waters run, your roots will never thirst
A stream of forever, ever more
(x2) Don’t wait, don’t wait, don’t wait…
I am calling, heed my calling
I have conquered it, your days will have no end
A sign of the remnant, sun, sun, sun
Oh evergreen, reining tower of the sky
Your roots reach forever, ever more
(x4) Don’t wait, don’t wait, don’t wait…
I am calling, heed my calling
Limbs out stretched and reaching for the sun
But only a glimmer remains
Come away with me
I’ll show you where
The waters run forever
