Track Insight / Lyrics
I am the slab of granite grey
Where ancient kings once came to pray
My veins are mapped in salted white
Waiting for the torch's light
Oh, Root of Ruin, hold the line
The ivy curls and the stars align
Scream it loud in the hollow hall
Until the heavy curtains fall
The Hedera helix climbs my skin
Where the legends all begin
My pores are filled with heavy clay
While the living walk away
Oh, Root of Ruin, hold the line
The ivy curls and the stars align
Scream it loud in the hollow hall
Until the heavy curtains fall
I feel the heat of resin flame
Calling out a forgotten name
The soil is black and thick as oil
While the sleeping heroes coil
Oh, Root of Ruin, hold the line
The ivy curls and the stars align
Scream it loud in the hollow hall
Until the heavy curtains fall
I keep the secret in my core
Behind a locked and iron door
The moss is green and soft as wool
Until the lunar tide is full
Oh, Root of Ruin, hold the line
The ivy curls and the stars align
Scream it loud in the hollow hall
Until the heavy curtains fall
Hold the line!
Hold the line!
Dig it deep in the grey!
