Every Tree a Sanctuary

Let me take you
For the walk between old trees
Enveloped by mist
Through the ashes

We are counting every tree
Growing around the path
And it's getting darker and colder
With every step you take

Let me show you
The road descending and twisted
A road straight ahead
Leading towards the gloom
Everlasting

Behold and feel the forest

Take my hand now and let me lead you
Under the trees old and new
Brush away all the branches
To step into the shade

And no sound comes here from the outside
And silence is deadly deafening your ears
And creepy blackness touches your eyes
And no light will ever reach this place

Where is the end of this road
Where does it lead
Blinded and deaf
Begging for the answer

You should know it well
You planted all the trees
You're tracing the path

With all your sins
With nowhere to go
Nowhere to turn
