Fallen Leaves

To emerge and to breathe anew
For a purpose so far from my own
And this world I've awoken to
Seems familiar but somehow unknown

And the branches of gold on the skyline
Reach out to the sweep of the stars
The beginnings and endings of lifetimes
A guidance of light from afar

Down
Down come the leaves
Do you believe
Words of the gilded and gold
Down
Drenched by the rain
Seared by the flame
Branches shall loosen their hold

Guided by grace ever led
These weary feet still tread

Over the fallen leaves
Do you believe
Do you believe now
Fallen leaves
Wake up and breathe
Do you believe now

Once rejected, the lowest caste
Now they bid us return to their grace
To forget the unfeeling past
To accept this undying embrace

And this light now bestowed on the lowly
Cannot reach the dark corners of old
Cruel rule of the highborn and holy
Lies in smoldering ash in the cold

Down
Down come the leaves
Do you believe
Words of the gilded and gold
Down
Drenched by the rain
Seared by the flame
Branches shall loosen their hold

Guided by grace ever led
These weary feet still tread

Over the fallen leaves
Do you believe
Do you believe now
Fallen leaves
Wake up and breathe
Do you believe now

Was it all that you wanted and more?
Was it all you imagined before?

Smashed into splinters
Shards they will fall
Tears of the timber
Blanketing all

Branches forlorn
Shed golden leaves
Order and form in the
Patterns they weave

Taste of the tears
Stitches and scars
Spinning the spheres
We severed the stars

Touched the primordial
Entropy lost
The carnal, corporeal
Suffer the cost

Ghosts in the deep
Watch over her shades
Awakened from sleep
To falter and fade

Rot in the roots
And sleep in the womb
A beautiful blue
Paints the rays of the moon

Down
Down come the leaves
Do you believe
Words of the gilded and gold
Down
Drenched by the rain
Seared by the flame
Branches shall loosen their hold

Guided by grace ever led
These weary feet still tread

Over the fallen leaves
Do you believe
Do you believe now
Fallen leaves
Wake up and breathe
Do you believe now
