Lyrics Woods of Ypres

Woods of Ypres

Intro: The Looming of Dust in the Dark (& the Illumination)

Sunlight shines

On the clothes that lay on a chair

A desk covered in clutter

The floor covered in hair

It shines on a figure, so thin and frail

It shines on his skin, so sick and pale

It shines on the wall, where for so long

I have stared

Breaking the spell of authentic despair

As my eyes come into focus

I turn to face to face the room

The movement from the sheets creates a breeze

Sweeps the dust from it's place

It so quietly swarms

And hangs in the air

It shines in the light

And makes me aware

Death is looming in here

And it's getting to you

Under dust, over time

It has been burying you

It now stirs up the room

As it enters my sight

Rising up from the dark

From the surface it lies

As if hinting to me

To choose day over night

To leave all of this dark

And seek the warmth of the light

Outside this room where my life wastes away

Her priorities lie

In collecting corks from bottles she plans to make into things
