Testo The shadows beneath the roots Asp

The shadows beneath the roots

All the years of searching
Years of shattered hopes and endless grief
So lost and lonely
Eyes and heart wide open in disbelief

And then she came
Before he even knew her name
The foundation of his life began to crumble
No back and forth anymore
And in hand, they headed north
And towards the shore
Two newborn beings, into the woods I saw them stumbling

And the shadows beneath the roots
Opened their gleaming eyes
And they began to crawl
Across the dark land, well disguised
They will feed upon your happiness and love
And leave just empty shells. You pray to god above

Far too soon, she vanished
Taken from him just after they met
Alone again
He did not know: was she alive or dead?

He cried her name
His hope became a dying flame
And his hoarse and bitter calls disturbed the silence
No answers there in the cold
From the mouth so sweet and fair
The trees were so old
And the darkness in the woods was full of violence

And the shadows beneath the roots
Opened their gleaming eyes
And they began to crawl
Across the dark land, well disguised
They will feed upon your happiness and love
And leave just empty shells. You pray to god above

All the years of searching
Under leaves and branches not stirred by a breeze
Again, he's lonely
Not sure at all that finding her would bring him peace
