Down By The Garden

Down by the garden
Bound beyond time
Far past the gateway
Was formed new life

Light spread through
The veins of the trees
The sun's creation forever
Remains so it seemed

Lakes of desert
A golden sea
Sharpened mountains
Crying streams

If all burns and
Fades to gray
Just remember
There is a way

Down by the garden
Cloaked by the spring
Woven in willows
Where the birds all weep

Fears and broken promises
Those who crave their praise
A seed that could have grown
Instead
Withers and decays

The sky threw down its wrath
On they who turned their back
On their word, their oath, they heard
They'd find their gold
Where shadows lurk

When to all their demise
It was right before their eyes
Soon all was dead and gone but then
The thunder cried

Down by the garden
(Down by the garden)
Born of the mud
(Born of the mud)
Pains of all heartbreak
Caused tears and blood
(Tears and blood)

Down by the garden
(Down by the garden)
Saved for the fight

In a hidden grove
The gates opened
A golden child would bring
New life
