Moddi – New Dawn (acoustic with Roosmarijn)

Dark clouds on the horizon;
smoke from the well fires
as we walked into a new dawn,
into the light.

Hold on, here come good bombs
onto the ground like raindrops
drowning the weed so
new seeds can grow.

All these words we devise
to hide from our demons.
It's all there before your eyes,
you just need the words to see it.

Rise up, up from the ashes,
seedlings of freedom.
We'll walk into a new dawn,
into the light.

All these words we devise,
to hide from our demons.
It's all there before your eyes
you just need the words to see it.

Wake up! This is deception.
Start using words that make sense.
Language's a weapon,
it's time to fight back.

I’ve been listening to your music for many, many years, and it has gotten me through winters and lows, and has been with me in my highs. The lyrics are fantastic, the melodies are serene and the music as a whole just fills me up like nothing else. I hope one day to see you play live, but for now, these snippets are enough.
Thank you for all that you do.
