Lyrics The Barrens - Huntsmen

The Barrens

Heart, beating stone, marring flesh, bending bone
(and their tears fall from on high)
Bright budding crone, slay in peace, love alone
(slashing rain across the barrens)
Blood that salts the earth, maiden battle birth
Fist that cleaves the sea, shattered sky of green
Heart, beating stone, marring flesh, bending bone
(and their voices from on high)
Bright budding crone, slay in peace, love alone
(sowing truth across the barrens)
Shadows, painted by the rain
Ghosts, memories trapped in dark hallways
At your back, burned to black, killed for love, none above
Heart, beating stone, marring flesh, bending bone
(and their arrows rain down)
Bright budding crone, slay in peace, love alone
(shaping justice in the barrens)
Ghosts, silently contained
Trapped between shadows of young and silver days
I’ve held onto that for so long
I can’t give it back
