The members of Golden Void have been connected musically off and on since they were teenagers. After playing in various bands together and apart throughout high school and the intervening years, Isaiah Mitchell (guitar/vocals, also of Earthless), Aaron Morgan (bass), and Justin Pinkerton (drums) coalesced as Golden Void after Mitchell’s move to the Bay Area in 2009. When the group realized they needed a keyboard player, Camilla Saufly-Mitchell joined the band.

Golden Void Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How long can we stay apart?
You may get it maybe never
But it's coming from the heart.
Your life is full of indecision
You can't make up your mind.
We must get it in position
And move it on down the line.
I been on that road too long of a time
Yes the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of the love that I left behind.
Make me up a bed of roses
And hang them down from the vine
Of all my loves you've been the closest
That's ever been on my mind.
Please don't talk about tomorrow
I'm really not one to care
This world is filled with too much sorrow
That nobody's heart should bear.
'Cause the road is long, it's a long hard climb
I been on that road too long of a time
Yes the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of the love that I left behind.
Please, please give me indication
Stop and talk to me
Like a river that is flowing
My love will never cease to be.
You will always be my honey
No one could take your part
Our love can't be bought with money
'Cause it's coming from the heart.
'Cause the road is long, it's a long hard climb
I been on that road too long of a time
Yes the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of the love that I left behind.

We have got to come together
It is imperative that we unite
How long can we stay apart?
Being separated destructs us
You may get it maybe never
You may or may not understand
But it's coming from the heart.
But it's arising from our emotions.
Your life is full of indecision
You are often uncertain about your choices.
You can't make up your mind.
You are unable to decide.
We must get it in position
We must get it sorted out.
And move it on down the line.
And let it move ahead.
'Cause the road is long, it's a long hard climb
'Cause the journey is tough, it's a long way to go
I been on that road too long of a time
I've been traveling for a long time now

Yes, the journey is lengthy and twisting.
When I think of the love that I left behind.
When I think of the affection that I abandoned.
Make me up a bed of roses
Prepare me an attractive resting place
And hang them down from the vine
And hang them from the branches of the plant.
Of all my loves you've been the closest
You've been the most intimate of all my loves
That's ever been on my mind.
That has been the most significant to me.
Please don't talk about tomorrow
Please don't discuss the future.
I'm really not one to care
I'm genuinely unconcerned.
This world is filled with too much sorrow
This world is packed with too much misery.
That nobody's heart should bear.
Heartbreak that no one should have to suffer.
Please, please give me indication
Please, offer me a clue
Stop and talk to me
Pause and converse with me
Like a river that is flowing
Like a flowing river
My love will never cease to be.
My love will never fade away.
You will always be my honey
You will always be my dearest one.
No one could take your part
Nobody could replace you.
Our love can't be bought with money
Our love is not for sale.
'Cause it's coming from the heart.
'Cause it's originating from our emotions.
