Mastodon - Roots Remain lyrics

And the sky opened up and
It swallowed us whole
All that's left is time
And healing underground
Underneath us the cosmic dawn of war begins
We resolve and watch as it all crumbles down

Beauty fades deaths decay
Fires on high reach the sky
Branches break roots remain
Strong in mind beauty

Your adventure is dark and it
Hides beyond the cells
All I feel alive, the hearts will prevail
The stolen eye was found and
Given to the lost soul
While the moon sets far and
The milestones seem low

Beauty fades deaths decay
Fires on high reach the sky
Branches break roots remain
Strong in mind beauty

And all that I have come to lose
Gone so long it doesn't matter anyway
And all that I have come to gain
Will remain with me until the bitter end
And when you sit and picture me
Remember sitting in the sun and
Dancing in the rain
The end is not the end, you see
It's just the recognition of a memory

The eyes the face
The lips the tongue
The end the end
