Kardashev
Behind Leaves and Vines
[Intro]
I was a pilgrim
And oh, I was lost
[Verse 1]
I looked from the forest, down to a river
The night, silver hands on my hair
There, in the closed-eye sky
I saw the clouds part to reveal her
Let my ignorance collapse
Let my tired eyes gain sight
[Verse 2]
She drank the moon from the crystal riverbed
The world was silent, cold
She lifted her head
Great reverence in distance, piercing through branches
I stood behind the fallen birch
[Bridge]
Snow falls
I stepped into the light
[Outro]
Nimble retreat
What beautiful heartache
In a moment so fleeting
What beautiful heartache
In a moment so fleeting
