Wetland by Shield Of Wings Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One step into uncertainty
Swampy deathbed welcoming
Heartless, abstract art
Defiant heart's dream, unknown calling

[Verse 2]
Uncertain step taunting
Losing sight of my feet
Descent then hope hesitating
A man slowly miring

[Chorus]
Behold, the cleansing of conceit
The filth in which I sink
Nameless hope
In wetland's quicksand we meet
Common branches
With uncommon reach
Longing for life
Godlike hand grasping me
[Verse 3]
Lost soul, alone, wandering
Troubled mind slowly bearing
Emergent life and new faces
Holding strong under strained roots aching

[Verse 4]
Green nature, face half in peat
Now on my side lying
Clouded sight, one eye gazing
Sunlight beaming through the leaves blazing

[Chorus]
Behold, the cleansing of conceit
The filth in which I sink
Nameless hope
In wetland's quicksand we meet
Common branches
With uncommon reach
Longing for life
Godlike hand grasping me

[Bridge]
Suffocating feat, eternal feeling
The time between God's blink
First time truly fighting
The clash of armies meet
Sinking, I pull up my knees
Fighting to breathe underneath the heavens
The beauty of grey clouds and skies that weep
All the while, mortal man upon the ground sinks
Slowly sinks
[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
The young cypress climbs
Its heart longs with reaching arms
Soon to be humbled
Slipping, I embrace its showing roots
In wetland's quicksand
Here lies Man
