lyrics

before the flood, the nudge, the rush, I had so little to carry
gold colored days, their standstill sway, before the color fell away
now I greet a life from its other side, too far away to reach it
only the memory of it dancing across the bygone verdant earth

you were once lovely
you were once pure

I held you in different light
I held you in different light

once hallowed ground, rot in the earth and poison in the water
anything nice will give its goodness up in time, I know it well
source of my shame, my hatred, my rage, all these selves sent to slaughter
to settle in among the rows in my garden of ghosts, I tend it well

you were once aching
for vibrant life
you once shone with
such life inside

I held you in different light
I held you in different light
