The Weave Lyrics
[Intro]
Light
[Verse 1]
First cry, language of the unheard
Old ghosts dancing to a new birth
Knit from souls vanished long gone
Into one, a Reaper's sideshow
First step, open gates to homesteads
Last thought innocent and unscathed
Tenth spring, sirens knitting mindscapes
Passion of the young, anchors aweigh
[Chorus]
He of myriad songs
Of a lifelong call
Cries its moment to the stars
Rips a withering heart
To fall apart
The unweaving has begun
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]

To fall apart
Rips a withering heart
Cries its moment to the stars
Of a lifelong call
He of myriad songs
The unweaving has begun
[Verse 2]
Passion of the young, anchors aweigh
Tenth spring, sirens knitting mindscapes
Last thought innocent and unscathed
First step, open gates to homesteads
Into one, a Reaper's sideshow
Knit from souls vanished long gone
Old ghosts dancing to a new birth
First cry, language of the unheard
[Outro]
