Holy Ground

from Bible Belt Baby by Flamy Grant

/

lyrics

The fire has gone wholly dark
It has burned its final spark
I love the music of the wood
I would live here if I could
The earth would be my bed
The moss beneath my head
I'd spend my days on holy ground
If I were not so wholly bound

The water has gone fully still
I walk its edge along a hill
The wind has blown its final breeze
The water rests in night’s reprieve
What silence must it take
To soothe so deep an ache
I’d let the water take me down
If I were not afraid to drown

When I wake up will you be gone?
Which side of the mountain will I find you on?
If I promise not to make a sound
Might I feel the resonance from holy ground?

The sky has wholly opened wide
The last lonely cloud has moved aside
Immense and fully filled with stars
Venus, Mercury, and Mars
The miles from there to here
What soul could pioneer?
But I would fly to worlds unknown
If I believed they held my home

When I wake up will you be gone?
Which side of the mountain will I find you on?
If I promise not to make a sound
Might I feel the resonance from holy ground?
