Mortal Seed Lyrics

Ephraim Lewis Mortal Seed

MORTAL SEED:


Shadows sleep coiled in the hand


Cast from distant fires


Tired eyes so dry


So full of sand





Just remember that you won't take it


You won't take anymore


Please don't take it


Turn around and reach out to the shore





Chorus:


From this mortal seed


turning deep inside


there's a wound which cannot bleed


for the pleasures we have been denied


All you want to be only we can decide





Try to get ahead, but standing


Like a statue on the edge


You talk about a new direction


But the words fly out and disappear





High windows shine, the light seems like a sign


But there's a crowd down there laughing


But don't seem to hear





Oh it's the same today, always just the same as before


Can't be the same today, step out don't be afraid


You've got the right, got the right for more


Chorus to end
