Silent Planet - Inherit The Earth Lyrics






After the fire, after the rain
After the sacred kissed the profane -
When you came and left again
Such a captivating pain
After that night I left my comfort
To find where your body lies
I'd wander upon this grave then fall...
I'd fall inside

I searched the clearing for that spark
Hands sifted through the ash -
Knowing what we felt was real
But some delusions never pass.
So I took shelter in the woods
With the naked shaking trees:
Deciduous, fraternal twins
We're both wilted, stem and leaf
Then the mist turned sleet into snow;
My senses shook numb, I've nothing to show
But a rain - stained book that once contained
My literary charades:
New blots of ink, archetypal shapes and shades
Bleed through each and every page.
And I ask myself:
What's the weight of my life on the scales of eternity?

We inherit the earth, we inherit the war
I inhabit the wound, I dwell in the harm
Oh how far we fall: We're casualties of time
Oh how far we fall: Begin to forgive existence

Retreat back from reaching trees
When a frigid shadow climbs inside of me -
That specter of recompense -
It's a sound I've heard ever since

Amidst the endless mortal strife
And the constantly dying light
The truth we felt from the start:
"How can I hold myself together when everything falls apart?"

We inherit the earth, we inherit the war
I inhabit the wound, I dwell in the harm
Oh how far we fall: We're casualties of time
Oh how far we fall: Forgive existence

I wandered upon the alter of human intervention
An exhibition of erudition
Find me here, Son of Man.
How far we fall...

  5. M.... V....

    It is my belief that Father (unlike “god”) does not object to our questioning. After all, if he created us, then it’s apparent that he gave us our sense of wonder for a reason. Just as he left us yearning for more. For Christians in particular, it seems that a better understanding of their idea of their creator is gained through reading, and re-reading scripture, re-interpreting the message each time. This can only be done by questioning his word. This is the birthplace of our knowledge, our moral code.

  6. K.... A....

    "And I ask myself: What's the weight of my life on the scales of eternity" I'm not religious but I'm very philosophical and that lyric resonates deeply.

  22. L.... _....

    As the World would soon suffer a fate worse than death, there are the Sons of God who suffer humiliation from the World by mockery. God will avenge His people, and He will do so where not one single person of the World would forget this haunting prophesy. The Son of Man shall have the Sons of God seek him, to answer The Call and become the Chosen and they shall prophesy the Word of God. Be warned, do not mock a Christian nor a Messianic Jewish nor a Son of God, for God will avenge them, they are the Witnesses, The Churches, The ministries who prophesy without end under the Word of God.

    L.... _....

    Lust_for _snipers Of course, props for ignoring me, most people don't. Quite an intricacy among sheep you are.

    L.... _....

    Godspeed I'm even more surprised that an atheist gets upset over a testimony and tries to troll a Christian. I'm even more obligated to reply back than to be upset.

    L.... _....

    Lust_for _snipers I didn't really get upset, I laughed my ass off making that, I consider myself agnostic.

    L.... _....

    Godspeed alright. anyways, its best to keep the Word of God out here than to just reveal nothing. to be honest, I don't hold grudges on anyone

    L.... _....

    Lust_for _snipers Sure I completey respect that, just don't let anyone in your flock, fall prey to wolves.

  23. P.... V....

    I CANT BELIEVE I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SILENT PLANET UNTIL THIS DAY. I'm so fucking happy I stumbled upon TDWP comments referencing Silent Planet vibes on one of their songs. This shit is the best thing I've heard in months.

    P.... V....

    Panos Vave Which song did they reference SP?

  24. K.... O....

    Anybody know the timing of this song?

    K.... O....

    Kevin O'Brien verses are in 4 with a measure of five at the end. Chorus and bridge is a cycle with 4 bars of 3 and a bar of 4

  25. T.... D....

    Why doesn't society embrace this rather than trash artists and lyricists like Future and Kanye West?

    T.... D....

    Talyn Duncan Kanye is alright in my opinion but true! These people need music that actually speaks hope and truth

    T.... D....

    It's too ambitious. Most people don't seek deeper things in life and are content with shallow simple entertainment. Also, music like this makes you think, when you start to think for yourself instead of simply believing everything you read or hear you start to see what's wrong with this world. It may sound like a conspiracy theory but it is not in the interest of people with power, be it government or corporations, for average Joe to think for himself. In the times of USSR in occupied countries of eastern block everything was hard to get with the exception of alcohol. That way many people became alcoholics and population like this is easy to control. Same goes for destroying values like family or national heritage. Just look at the music and lyrics young black people are bombarded with in USA. How can a person advance in society and strive for self improvement while all his life he listened to "cool" rappers saying drinking, smoking weed and treating women like whores makes you a man, gang shootings are normal and stealing is nothing bad.

    T.... D....

    I personally enjoy a lot of genres, including modern hip-hop. Obviously it depends on the mood because I don't want to be in a constant state of thinking about everything wrong with the world. Sometimes, it's just better to relax and listen to something easy.

  26. B.... P....

    absolutely outstanding song

  27. I.... S....

    DAMN THAT SHIT GOOD

  28. I.... N....

    I love silent planet.

  30. R.... B....

  31. R.... ....

  32. D.... V....

    E.... r....
