lyrics

Jagged spires pierce the sky, oh they reach, oh how they reach
Jagged spires spill the clouds, oh how they reach, oh how they reach
A scar left on the earth, I’m deep within, deep within
Confined to follow the incision line, the incision line

The deeper I descend
Move closer to the beginning than the end

Oh these ancient walls they crumble
The stones return to sand
While the roaring river rumbles
And reclaims what it can

The young ascend, the old remain, remain the same
As living relics of what has been and what can never be again
The monolithe’s the canvas, water the brush, life’s cool rush
Beneath the constant buzzing strokes, it whispers “join us”

The deeper I descend
Move closer to the beginning than the end

Oh these ancient walls they crumble
The stones return to sand
While the roaring river rumbles
And reclaims what it can
And reclaims what it can
And reclaims its sand
