lyrics

Kent-calling for a likeness
Kodama rattles in the
Cypresses
Spirit totems, monoliths
Old growth remnants of a
permanent past

And to think we thought
they'd last
So gone
So distinct
So vast

Ghost feathers in the
forests
Pushing up the hill
beneath the weight
The earth a cinder upon
our backs
Impossible to shake

I hear them dying
But I can't stop the saws
I can't make the giants
grow
Their boughs are tired
The ground is sour now
Where did their brothers
go?

Kent-calling to the
blackness
Knock-knocking in the
Ashes
Echoes fading into
silence
Spirit totems, evidence
lost in time

Elimination by design
So gone
So extinct
So resigned

Ghost bones in the
bottomlands
Spirits crushed beneath
the weight
The earth a cinder upon
our backs
Impossible to shake

I hear them calling
But I can't stop the sun
Can't slow the fading
dusk
I hear my brothers
Out past the hardwoods,
flocking
Blackwater, black blood

A quilting of lichens to
cover me
Enshrouded in soil
I know I could be
So gone
So at ease

Pillows of mosses to
comfort me
Where my brothers are
flocking
I know I could be
So safe
So asleep
So relaxed So extinct
