Ephraim Lewis - Mortal Seed lyrics

Shadows sleep coiled in the hand Cast from distant fires Tired eyes so dry So full of sand Just remember that you won't take it You won't take anymore Please don't take it Turn around and reach out to the shore From this mortal seed Turning deep inside There's a wound which cannot bleed For the pleasures we have been denied All you want to be only we can decide Try to get ahead, but standing Like a statue on the edge You talk about a new direction But the words fly out and disappear High windows shine, the light seems like a sign But there's a crowd down there laughing But don't seem to hear Oh it's the same today, always just the same as before Can't be the same today, step out don't be afraid You've got the right, got the right for more Shadows sleep coiled in the hand Cast from distant fires Tired eyes so dry So full of sand Just remember that you won't take it You won't take anymore Please don't take it Turn around and reach out to the shore
