Skyward by Treebeard Lyrics

[Verse 1: Oliver Francis & Both]
Come from the window darling
Beckoning me down the hallway to the stairs
With eyes like obdurate stone
But before you go
Take these golden memories
I'll close my eyes until you leave

[Chorus: Oliver Francis, Matt Cole, & Both]
(Ever so soft and exquisitely)
Exquisitely
(Your fingers grace the slope of my back)
You collapse
(Shimmering still night air)
We were meant to walk along this path
In perfect elegance you sit
Watching flames shoot skyward
The earth it shakes and its torn apart

[Verse 2: Oliver Francis]
Every night the stars glow brighter
As I let my body ascend skyward
Knowing everyday
Brings us closer to the end
Somehow still
In the mornings when I look at you
Your waking eyes ease the pain
Our lips meet and ever so soft and exquisitely
[Chorus: Oliver Francis, Matt Cole, & Both]
(Ever so soft and exquisitely)
Exquisitely
(Your fingers grace the slope of my back)
You collapse
(Shimmering still night air)
We were meant to walk along this path
In perfect elegance you sit
Watching flames shoot skyward
The earth it shakes and its torn apart

[Verse 3: Both & Oliver Francis]
Dead vines creep the crumbled house
Where once evil had its place before
Rustling of leaves, the wind stirs
This chamber of power alive once again
Forgotten words spring to lips
As the footsteps tread the spiral stair case
Searching the depths we know
Forgotten demons
Antlers at the alter the stag will be offered as sacrifice
Golden colossus arise
Your servant is now your master
All is lost
All is lost
[Chorus: Oliver Francis, Matt Cole, & Both]
(Ever so soft and exquisitely)
Exquisitely
(Your fingers grace the slope of my back)
You collapse
(Shimmering still night air)
We were meant to walk along this path
In perfect elegance you sit
Watching flames shoot skyward
The earth it shakes and its torn apart
