Blackroot Forest Lyrics by The Wise Man’s Fear

The Lost City

2017

Death has come to take you home
Barbaric things are all these trees have known
The forest aches in his wake
His stench still lingers on the breeze
Worth it, is it worth it?
You know that you can't go home, you cannot go
A troubled brow, a grey head
Skies crashing in upon burning skies
If these walls could speak they'd scream
If these hills had eyes they'd bleed
If these walls could speak they'd scream
If these hills had eyes would bleed
Take this fire
Keep my dying flame, save my name
Take this fire
Burn the dark away, see the day
Father, please forget about me
'Cause I'll always be lost and that's not worth remembering
Mother, please forgive me my crimes
And know that I've let you down one final time
Show me your face, I won't let you take
The phantom in Blackroot that's hiding from me
The withered limb with ears for sweet lies
That has poisoned the Family tree
Take this fire
Keep my dying flame, save my name
Take this fire
Burn the dark away, see the day
Take comfort, take solace
Take heart and home, they're yours to own
Take this fire
Burn the dark away, see the day
Can't go back, you can't go home
Can’t go back, you can’t go home
Take comfort, take solace
Take heart and home, they're yours to own
Take this fire
Burn the dark away, see the day
