Fleeting Are the Days of Man by Garden of Worm Lyrics
Life strays away from lamenting leaves
Trees stand as ghosts of what they used to be
Yet 'neath the wintery soil
Their roots bide in rest out of sight, safely
Holy skies bless the Earth with rain
Resurrecting waters stream once again
Face the ancient stones so cold
They greet the Sun deriding times' defeat
Yet concrete temples tower lifelessly
Cast a fleeting shadow at their swaying feet
Come the day that marks their defeat
As woods gently reclaim the forlorn streets
Trees stand as ghosts of what they used to be
Yet 'neath the wintery soil
Their roots bide in rest out of sight, safely
Holy skies bless the Earth with rain
Resurrecting waters stream once again
Face the ancient stones so cold
They greet the Sun deriding times' defeat
Yet concrete temples tower lifelessly
Cast a fleeting shadow at their swaying feet
Come the day that marks their defeat
As woods gently reclaim the forlorn streets
