The Fecundity and Desertion

Alive, Son of Awake - Fecundity and Desertion
Em D G A

I am the wasteland
I am nothing left
I am the wax and wane
I am bereft

There was once so much here
There was once a hope and promise
And now we have a desert
Empty but for longing

I am the oasis
I am the desert's song
I am the greenest grass
I am nothing wrong

There was once so much here
There was once a hope and promise
And now we have a desert
That's permanently haunted

There's still a shred of hope
There's still a shadow of a doubt
As hope must diminish
And our eyes cast downward
Shame again
Gray again
Gray day again
