"The Marrow Tree" is a living archive of the soul. It reflects on the spine as the sacred tree of life ... holding pain, memory, and music in its deepest core. The song is a lament for what was lost, a vow to remember, and a pledge to grow from the wounds carried in our bones. A journey of healing rooted in ancestral strength and the quiet wisdom of nature ############################################ [Intro] The wind hums like a memory The bones remember where the roots began [Verse 1] In a field where no gods slept We laid our dead in circles deep One child cried, then silence wept And from their bones, the roots did creep The Marrow Tree began to rise Its leaves were chants, its bark was skin We drank its sap, we sang its name It grew from loss, it grew from sin [Chorus] From the marrow grew the tree From the tree grew time in me It sang in tones we could not read It fed on faith, it bled on need We danced, we swore, we never knew The Marrow Tree remembered too [Verse 2] We built our homes around its breath We gave it names, we wrote its myths But nothing stays in place for long Not even gods, not even gifts The roots grew wide, the sky turned red The branches cracked beneath the moon We thought it loved us like we loved But love can turn to ash too soon [Chorus 2] From the marrow grew the tree From the tree grew time in me It held our names inside its rings But trees forget forgotten things We danced, we begged, we tried to flee But none escape the Marrow Tree [Bridge] “Roots in blood … bark in bone You are never … not alone” [Final Chorus] From the marrow grew the tree From the tree grew ruin and me It bore our dead, it bore our lies It bore the end in each sunrise The gods we fed, the gods we built They bloom in silence, bloom in guilt [Outro] The field is quiet now But the tree still breathes
