Rootless

[Intro] . [Verse] Rootless No anchor holds Roots torn from the mother soil The trunk cracks open with a sound That echoes through the sacred ground Termites fill the mound Feasting through the ancient clay They taste the sap of fallen years All the tree's dying fears Beneath the weight of disarray [Instrumental] . [Verse] Gale winds sweep the mountain Shaking the bones of this sleeping giant Wind that howls through split oak trees Carries names of the defiant Scatters seed across the silent Answers are found in this wildest breeze Heard in the rustling of the trees In the sprawl of fallen bark In the silence of the dark Where the wild things roam [Instrumental] . [Verse] Here no man rules For the wild suffers no fools Man stands on borrowed time The wild knows not this fear Their truth is nature's rhyme The wild breathes Through moss and rotting rind This death song feeds the creeping roots All sing this song in time [Instrumental] . [Verse] Call from the deep well Rises through the fractured grain The well that holds the memory Of sunlight, storm, and rain Calls the rootless home again [Outro/Fade Out] Here you find answers Not in height, but in descent Here no doubt rules For the fall is the ascent
