[Melody 1]
I am looking for a ritual
Break it down, make it simple
Taste the blood, light the hearth, let your chest be blown apart
Made a garden 'round your ashes
Built a fortress for my heart
Say your name like it's a prayer, certain that I'll find you there
Ooh~
Break the silence, learn a lesson
Try starting something new
Feel the tremors start to fade, I'm alone but not afraid
Ooh~
[Chorus]
No matter the weather
I will sing its praise
For it is what is life as arbory
I am limb of its trunk, it is trunk of my tree
[Melody 2]
Our boys are raised as weapons
(When the light of dawn shines slowly on)
Our schools {end up for lies?}
(these weary eyes of mine)
Our leaders armed with fear, that our children always hear
(I will rise to face this haunted place)
I see poison in the river (and all it's left behind)
I see mountains start to fall
(I will rise to face this haunted place)
Our children raise their hands, leave a mess in their command. [Ooh]
(When the light of dawn shines slowly on)
We search for sanctuary (these weary eyes of mine)
[When the light of dawn shines slowly on]
We learn and teach and pray (I will rise to face this haunted place)
[These weary eyes of mine]
We open every door (and all it's left behind)
Nothing sacred anymore [I will rise to face this haunted place]
(When the light of dawn shines slowly on)
[And all it's left behind]
[Chorus]
No matter the weather
I will sing it's praise
For it is what is life as arbory
I am limb of its trunk, it is trunk of my tree
[Refrain]
(When the light of dawn shines slowly on)
When the light of dawn shines slowly on
[When the light of dawn shines slowly on] (these weary eyes of mine)
These weary eyes of mine
[These weary eyes of mine] (I will rise to face this haunted place)
I will rise to face this haunted place
[I will rise to face this haunted place] (and all it's left behind)
And all it's left behind
[And all it's left behind] (When the light of dawn shines slowly on)
When the light of dawn shines slowly on
[When the light of dawn shines slowly on] (these weary eyes of mine)
These weary eyes of mine
[These weary eyes of mine] (I will rise to face this haunted place)
I will rise to face this haunted place
[I will rise to face this haunted place] (and all it's left behind)
And all it's left behind
[And all it's left behind] (When the light of dawn shines slowly on)
When the light of dawn shines slowly on
[When the light of dawn shines slowly on] (these weary eyes of mine)
These weary eyes of mine
[These weary eyes of mine] (I will rise to face this haunted place)
I will rise to face this haunted place
[I will rise to face this haunted...] (and all it's left behind...)
