As tall as trees do these beings stand
But firmly rooted in arid soils
Hardly able to sustain
Anything that resembles life
As no light shines through their crowns
And no winds rustle their leaves
They let loose their seeds
To more hopeful grounds
But never again, they know
Will they themselves move
As lost as ships in starless oceans
Are these beings, navigating
Through the blackness, anchorless
As though on a mission
Of any consequence
Their anchors have not been lost,
No – they have never existed
Not because they are not needed,
No – But because there are no harbours
In which to cast them

Wow! The agonizing voice is definitely stealing the show here. A prodigious work of art that carries such a ferocity and is being build up by irreproachable instrumentals and oppressive mood. I can't get enough of it! 🖤 Umbra Cornuta
