Lyrics

All the years of searching Years of shattered hopes and endless grief So lost and lonely Eyes and heart wide open in disbelief And then she came Before he even knew her name The foundation of his life began to crumble No back and forth anymore And in hand, they headed north And towards the shore Two newborn beings, into the woods I saw them stumbling And the shadows beneath the roots Opened their gleaming eyes And they began to crawl Across the dark land, well disguised They will feed upon your happiness and love And leave just empty shells. You pray to god above Far too soon, she vanished Taken from him just after they met Alone again He did not know: was she alive or dead? He cried her name His hope became a dying flame And his hoarse and bitter calls disturbed the silence No answers there in the cold From the mouth so sweet and fair The trees were so old And the darkness in the woods was full of violence And the shadows beneath the roots Opened their gleaming eyes And they began to crawl Across the dark land, well disguised They will feed upon your happiness and love And leave just empty shells. You pray to god above All the years of searching Under leaves and branches not stirred by a breeze Again, he's lonely Not sure at all that finding her would bring him peace
