Banishment of the Mother

Written by TheoDemoya

[Intro]

The circle closed with ash and light

They named her darkness, crowned in night

[Verse 1]

He raised his hand and sealed the gate

He spoke her doom as heaven’s fate

A thousand candles drowned in tears

As love was cast to hungry spheres

[Pre-Chorus]

Say her name where echoes break

Let mountains answer for her sake

[Chorus]

Banishment of the Mother

The sky forgot its other

But every shadow keeps her trace

In every heart, her crimson grace

[Verse 2]

The world grew still, the air grew thin

Where once her whisper warmed the skin

And children learned a colder prayer

To love with caution, not to dare

[Pre-Chorus]

What is exile to a star?

Distance cannot dim so far

[Chorus]

Banishment of the Mother

The sky forgot its other

But every shadow keeps her trace

In every heart, her crimson grace

[Bridge]

If hatred hides behind a vow

Then mercy must remember how

[Final Chorus]

Banishment of the Mother

Until the worlds recover

The law may bind, the law may smother

But love returns to cover

[Outro]

A single rose in winter’s cover
