Roots Remain - Mastodon

And the sky opened up and it swallowed us whole

All that’s left is time and healing underground

Underneath us the cosmic dawn of war begins

We resolve and watch as it all crumbles down

Beauty fades

Deaths decay

Fires on high

Reach the sky

Branches break

Roots remain

Strong in mind

Beauty

Your adventure is dark and it hides beyond the cells

All I feel alive, the hearts will prevail

The stolen eye was found and given to the lost soul

While the moon sets far and the milestones seem low

Beauty fades

Deaths decay

Fires on high

Reach the sky

Branches break

Roots remain

Strong in mind

Beauty

And all that I have come to lose

Gone so long it doesn’t matter anyway

And all that I have come to gain

Will remain with me until the bitter end

And when you sit and picture me

Remember sitting in the sun and dancing in the rain

The end is not the end, you see

It’s just the recognition of a memory

The eyes

The face

The lips

The tongue

The end

The end
