WHEN ONLY GOD IS LEFT

I traveled a long road to get here

Through the fog and through the snow

The hillsides, they all crumbled

The roots too weak to hold

I braced against the anchor

That sank inside my chest

The land, it turned to water

And there was nothing left

Something ancient spoke to me

It moved inside my blood

The depth of the ocean canyons

The heat of a thousand suns

I dug through the mud to get here

From somewhere deep in the earth

The underworld, it opened

And stole away my breath

My soul, it ached, my body hurt

So much buried 'neath the earth

My ears roared with the thunder

That drowning souls will know

Salt water coarses through the dirt

I am falling through the earth

The land has turned to water

And only God is left

The sky was never empty

It's always been alive

The Hopi had a prophecy

The return of the original light

Maybe the world's always ending

And we're just riding the wave

Crashing through the darkness

The soft earth giving way

Our lungs, they fill with water

As the next wave starts to crest

Unable to sever the anchor

Until only God is left

To find peace in the darkness

To claw our way out through the dirt

To find the strength to surrender

The courage to let it hurt.
