Cannot Will Not Lyrics by ZASKA

It Takes a Village

2019

[Verse 1]
The weeks, the months the years
So hard to put it down
To know that one day
You’ll be gone and not around
And when the skies above
Call you out of this dream
With you, you’ll take a piece of me

[Verse 2]
I’ve never heard the beating
Drum of time so loud
With every tick another tear
Falls to the ground
I understand now you’ll
Return to dust beneath
As peaceful as a fallen leaf

As the nights pass on
End their rule each day
As the sands must blow away
Vagabonding

[Chorus]
Cannot, will not
Dare forget you
Cannot, will not
Dare forget you

[Verse 3]
In your Arcadia its edge I never saw
At peace, ascending trees
Distracted from it all
I blinked and on my lips
The first taste of a sin
Never to enter there again

[Verse 4]
And now letters faintly
Appear upon the wall
Your roots within this world recede
Their hungry crawl
My love for you adheres
To no limit or end
My keeper and my dearest friend

As the nights pass on
End their rule each day
As the sands must blow away
Vagabonding

[Chorus]
Cannot, will not
Dare forget you
Cannot, will not
Dare forget you

Cannot, will not
Dare forget you
Cannot, will not
Dare forget you
