Into The Woods Lyrics - Across The Dark - Insomnium

Now close your eyes 

And open your weary heart 

Let me soothe away the woes 

Of fiendish world 

As will the sun bathe the land 

In its warming light 

So shall the moon ascend 

To guide the day to wane 

In turn the rain to hush 

The tumult of this world 

And the wind to rise, 

Sight a lullaby in trees 

"Not in these troubeld times 

I'm not the one you pined for 

No, not into calmer waters 

I'm not the one your long for" 

"But a scarecrow, an anathema to the world 

Looking in from the outside 

It's time to turn my back 

Walk off the beaten path 

Seek heartening in solitude" 

The arch of sky is roof where I call it home 

Drizzle of rain, the only music from now on 

My bed is made from juniper's boughs 

Of mire moss my pillow 

Lone footprints diverge from tree line 

Autumn veils the sloughs with rime 

Shell of quagmire 

Yet too fragile to bear a man
