Arbor - The Young Oceans Lyrics

When force and form were still hidden in mist
And before discord had come to rest
It is said that the Spirit of God would hover
Over the trembling depths of seas unmade...

Down through the eager absence wove the Word of God
Stirring void to froth. From timber to tide
Sails drink up round bellied breath; teeming first light on such young oceans

We were so young, wide eyed and gleaming
Sure footed and bold, we were gilded gold
But before long, darkness came and we traded innocence away

Down through our sunken absence
Weave the Words of God, stirring void to froth
From stone to flesh, God's vessel to raise this wreck
Teeming first light on we young oceans

We were so young, wide eyed and gleaming
Sure footed and bold, we were gilded gold
But before long, darkness came and we traded innocence away

Your love breaks like water on my heart's shores
My love is like stones frozen in the deep
Your love breaks like water on my heart's shores
My love is like stones in the frozen deep

Before the end we the young oceans will wrestle no more
With this wanting naught
Staring out like children we know what is massing beyond the trees.
Singing on the banks we wait together, telling stories...

For once we were lost, alone in our depravity
The Author put on flesh and entered into the story
His life puts us to death, his death brings us to life
He has risen...
