The Sovereign The roots set in And as I fix my gaze upon you I see beauty and pain Shadows encircle these long lost grasps Oh, Mother, what have we done? Mere beasts we have become We have forgotten our stance In somber storms you dance From your path we have strayed Misguided and treacherous, we remain Long since we knew Whether we could stop ourselves A bargain made with faceless gods Of gain and progress To you we call That you might reclaim us Consign us to your realm Or we will surely fall The roots set in I see beauty and pain Shadows encircle Ode to the Sovereign
