Grass & Shadow Video (MV)

Nothing new is there
Beneath this burning star
Known is what man is
We come and leave in the dark
All our work is for food
Left empty we burn like fire
What better is there than sight
Than the wandering of desire

From death we run and flee in haste
And beauty we chase and crave to taste
From the earth we came to the earth we go
We pass like grass and shadow

I've seen it all before
A man dies under the sun
Never enjoys the spoils
Of the back-breaking work he's done
I've seen it all before
The man that works alone
Has no one to lift him up
When he falls and breaks his bone

From death we run and flee in haste
And beauty we chase and crave to taste
From the earth we came to the earth we go
We pass like grass and shadow

Something new has come
Out from the fiery cloud
Down from the gates of time
To raise us from this shroud
With nowhere to lay his head
He was fluent in grief and loss
Sorrow plagued his steps
That led him to the cross
We saw him stumble there, still
He bled love on holy writ

For life He came and lived and died
And beauty He shone into the night
From the earth He rose to the earth He calls
Leave off the grass and shadow

For life He came and lived and died
And beauty He shone into the night
From the earth He rose to the earth He calls
Leave off, leave off
The grass and shadow
