I held you in different light
Before the flood, the nudge, the rush, I had so little to carry
Gold colored days, their standstill sway, before the color fell away
Now I greet a life from its other side, too far away to reach it
Only the memory of it dancing across the bygone verdant earth
You were once lovely
You were once pure
I held you in different light
I held you in different light
Once hallowed ground, rot in the earth and poison in the water
Anything nice will give its goodness up in time, I know it well
Source of my shame, my hatred, my rage
All these selves sent to slaughter
To settle in among the rows in my garden of ghosts, I tend it well
You were once aching
For vibrant life
You once shone with
Such life inside
I held you in different light
I held you in different light
Gold colored days, their standstill sway, before the color fell away
Now I greet a life from its other side, too far away to reach it
Only the memory of it dancing across the bygone verdant earth
You were once lovely
You were once pure
I held you in different light
I held you in different light
Once hallowed ground, rot in the earth and poison in the water
Anything nice will give its goodness up in time, I know it well
Source of my shame, my hatred, my rage
All these selves sent to slaughter
To settle in among the rows in my garden of ghosts, I tend it well
You were once aching
For vibrant life
You once shone with
Such life inside
I held you in different light
I held you in different light
