Lyrics for The Summoning

If anything can speak to me A river cuts through the rocks and we Stand in blissful silence, backs to the afternoon I am over soon A certain purpose fills the lungs Eternal feasting upon my tongue The sideways dust that fills our footsteps until they disappear We were never here A burning giant, against the day Fingers to the ground I find my way A parasite that eats up distance until it disappears I was never here To sleep in meadows And lose the young To taste the autumn upon my tongue Let this be the last assumption that you were never wrong I am ever wrong Misplaced dreams given up forgone Maps are lost and never meant a thing here anyway I covet then the ground, so soft and warm here As I covet then the starlight fallen there And I see fires fuelled by heavy air A twist and I'm gone Through the ether and on to home A slip and I'm all Lit up and falling slow A twist and I'm gone Through the ether and on to home A slip and I'm all Lit up and falling slow Falling on through the atmosphere Just a twist and I'm gone Through the ether and on to home Through the ether and on to home
