《Shedding The Deadwood》歌词

[00:00:01] Shedding The Deadwood - Woods of Ypres

[00:00:44] It's no wonder I've felt so tired

[00:00:51] I've witnessed the careless all running past me

[00:00:58] While I've been told to ignore my desires

[00:01:05] And grow numb with understanding

[00:01:12] I walk through theses woods

[00:01:16] I carry this deadwood

[00:01:20] I am determined to see this through

[00:01:27] Driven only by the guilt and the shame of giving up

[00:01:34] I must complete what I set out to do - For you

[00:01:42] It stayed on a shelf made of my arms

[00:01:49] They had grown strong from giving support

[00:01:56] I knew that my arms could hold out forever

[00:02:03] It was my mind that'd grow tired

[00:02:07] And in time would let go

[00:02:10] It's been so long since I have questioned

[00:02:18] What it is that I really want

[00:02:25] Instead I follow your directions

[00:02:32] As you lead me on

[00:02:36] I can't use it to build my home

[00:02:43] It will not fulfill my desires

[00:02:49] Some wood can be used to help build a life

[00:02:57] This wood will be used for building a fire

[00:03:19] Why carry this deadwood with me

[00:03:23] when were I'm going there will be living trees

[00:03:28] Now close enough to carry it all to the end

[00:03:35] But throwing it all to the ground instead

[00:03:54] This bundle of deadwood

[00:03:57] The pieces they fall

[00:03:59] Corners indent the soil and accumulate on one another

[00:04:05] Tumble down and pile up

[00:04:08] It awkwardly spills like myself at a time

[00:04:14] Like the time it had killed

[00:04:16] Like every moment after it was collected and held

[00:04:23] I'd give up all that I started

[00:04:37] To pursue all that I wanted

[00:04:51] I may arrive empty handed

[00:05:05] But at least I will arrive
