Cradle of Time

[Verse] Every morning birthed anew haze of orange morning dew Met myself in a jungle dream bright sticks of sun unseen Nightfall's ashes reborn green leaves breathe life again Ancient echoes whisper low their marks in stone whisper slow [Verse 2] Rock River Tree standing tall shadows from ancient calls Mastodon dinosaur thoughts whispered low in the floor Dust and ages eyes can't see broad alarms of what's to be When the time crushes dreams all we have are sighs and seams [Chorus] Lost tokens in the sands silent cries across the lands Broad alarms of past’s demise shadows hide the ancient skies Morning mist hiding truth king's robe lying youth Painted gold hiding pains in the old disguise remains [Verse 3] Grain softening in the wave gurgling past under caves Mist not king in robes bright seen ghostly flares in morning light Old paintboxes stained gold kings shrouded lies of times old Mornings masked through the years fade like uncried tears [Bridge] Low stove flame glowing red winter's slice makes us fed Birds awaiting morning's break song of life their hearts partake Mother's comb through hair so black ink of ages whispers back [Chorus] Lost tokens in the sands silent cries across the lands Broad alarms of past’s demise shadows hide the ancient skies Morning mist hiding truth king's robe lying youth Painted gold hiding pains in the old disguise remains
