City Of Marrow

You'd never know that marrow was

A glowing place, beautiful, before

Her tarnished heart lost its way

So long, so long

Gone are the colors, the apples and gems

Each hunger answered with more

Above and below she has rotted away

So long, so long

The great market calls

From canopied stalls

But a ghost town is all you will find

Purses great and small

Gold coins changing palms

Gone paper and ruin and lost time

Seventh sons and golden ball daughters

Can take their own lives to hand

I have been to the city of marrow

And i have come out again.

Fear not the wind of wasting

Its howling is not for you

It's only an echo now withn

The hearts of those just passing through

(beauty is lost in translation

No savoring what is devoured

All of us burned down to hunger

Our glory gone)

Beauty is lost in translation

No savoring what is devoured

We become what we have eaten

I look at my lover and only see bones

No one looks under the skin anymore

There's only the wind now

There's only the wind now...

Fear not the wind of wasting

Its cries are not for you

They're only echoes now within

The hearts of those

Just passing through

When seventh sons and golden ball daughters

Take their own lives to hand

Fear not the city of marrow

For you will come out again

I have been to the city of marrow

And i have come out again

Fear not the wind of wasting

Its howling is not for you

Only an echo now within

The hearts of those just passing through

The hearts of those long ago passed through
