Absolution Song Songtext
von Arbouretum

I wrote a song for absolution
I needed one that could go back in time
To wind its way to a world′s beginning
A wind for turning the arrow around

I washed my clothes in a holy river
Let hang to dry and stains reappeared
For years I kept from eyes around me
In rushes down by the banks of a dream


The world's moved on but moments linger
In flickering light as a film clatters on
I′ve been recast, have since recanted
Those scenes, they seem so extreme to me now

A running stag across the water
Protection comes as a glimpse through the reeds
In crested sun for a moment's passage,
Then disappears to the dark of the green

On canyon walls and across the mesas
A song to after what's carved into stone
Connecting lines threaded into verses
Be still, be still, don′t you shudder no more
