Root to Root - The Devil and the Almighty Blues

Don’t turn your back on me now

I’ve seen it coming for a while

Don’t turn your back on me now

This man is not an isle

A wandering man I’ve always been

Walking the outsides looking in

A wandering man I’ve always been

I still chase a home in the wind

Even if every word is a lie

All poison and sharp teeth

Even if every word is a lie

I still hear your cries beneath

Like blood spilt upon the ground

Brings the earth to life anew

I spill my blood upon the ground

And I revive my roots to you

The Leaves may have fallen

And the branches left to rot

But we’re still bound together

Heart to heart, Root to Root

Roots grown strong as life

All intertwined and tied

Roots grown strong as life

Still withers under pride

In a world that wants us dead

And burnt from the ground

In a world that wants us dead

It’s kin where hope is found

The Leaves may have fallen

And the branches left to rot

But we’re still bound together

Heart to heart‚ Root to Root
