about

This song is about ancient burial rites. How people used their bodies to return to the earth.

lyrics

Eternal gusts of wind
Cleansing the surface
Removing the trace
of those who came before us

Dead eyes staring at the sky
never to see again
Dead eyes staring at the sky
never to see again

Roots running deep
into the center of the earth
Contaminating the soil
under the Tower of Silence

Dead eyes staring at the sky
never to see again

The symphony ends in silence
Exposed to the elements, we cease to exist
The symphony ends in Silence
Only in ashes can the soul be released

In the sun we are
redeemed by fire
When our bodies
turn to ash

Slow erosion when exposed
to years of rainfall
When our lives
disappear in the tide

Dead eyes staring at the sky
never to see again

The symphony ends in Silence
Exposed to the elements, we cease to exist
The symphony ends in Silence
Only in ashes can the soul be released
