silent planet - first father lyrics

[verse 1: garrett russell]
do you remember when i said
you’d never feel the sting of death? [01]
but now i’m waiting where you left
beside that snow-kissed clearing [02]
i pressed a seed through that frozen fleece
the earth embraced you in the ground
no invention of my mind
will ever compose a melody so profound
i’m a priest afraid to pray [03]
terrified at what the silence couldn’t say
tongue tethered to the skeptic beating in my chest

[pre-chorus: garrett russell]
we’re no longer quite ourselves
nor reflections of someone else
lover, do you feel that tension
as we drift between silence and eternity?

[chorus: garrett russell]
death is the road, road to awe [04]
i stood atop the world
its asymmetry laid bare in front of me:
thanatophobic societies taking life to mourn their tragedies

[verse 2: garrett russell]
i feared this world would never change
but you steady your resolve anyway
let’s set the pen against the sword [05]
how orphans long for peace before they learn to love the war
perhaps it’s our language [06]
perhaps we are incomplete
words like shadows to what we see
faint fl1ckerings across the cavern in our minds [07]

[bridge: thomas freckleton]
candles in the dark [08]
defiant to the night

[bridge: garrett russell]
“you pulled me through time” [09]
through the edgeless night [10]
i learned to love as you learned to die
i’ll begin to feel again and finish the chapter you couldn’t write

[outro: thomas freckleton & garrett russell]
candles in the dark
defiant to the night, defiant to the shadow
you pull me through time, through the edgeless night
i learned to love as you learned to die [11]
