Anathallo Lyrics

I lay still in the fire.
I am not moving in the midst of chaos and destruction.

Oh, the grass. Burn in bed.
The grass is being consumed by the flames and looks like it's sleeping.

Blackened ash.
The remains of the fire have left nothing but charred and lifeless debris.

A cold sound rustled in the trees
There was an eerie, chilling noise coming from the trees.

Pulling limbs.
The sound was so strong it felt like it was pulling the branches down from the tree tops.

The smoke rose. The smoke rose.
The thick smoke lifted higher and higher, engulfing everything in its path.

It'd come to make a mess of things
The fire had come to create chaos and destruction.

And throw a storm of burnt flakes,
The flames were releasing burnt debris, carried away by the wind.

Lifting to the air the floating world,
The fire was lifting up everything that was once below, as if separating it from the ground and making it float.

To let them go silent into the ground
The lifted objects were eventually going to be released back to the earth.

Where all things make work of coming back.
Everything that is lost is eventually renewed and comes back, just as nature intended.

I lay in the ground, wait, lonely for you.
I am lying down, in wait, longing for your companionship.

My hair grows, nails grow out
As time passes, my hair and nails continue to grow.

And I count them as they go
I keep track of time by marking the growth of my hair and nails.

One, two, three, four, five, six
I am counting each passing day using the growth of my hair and nails as markers.

Break into air.
The solid objects are breaking apart and turning into air.

Set themselves between the blades of grass,
The disintegrated particles are settling between the blades of grass.

So let your bare feet bleed.
The sharp particles are piercing the bare feet, causing blood to come out.
