Lyrics
The Walls Are Closing In
Words and music by Andru Branch © 2021, Constant Spring Music and Publishing
The walls are closing in
The walls are closing in
The walls are closing in
The walls are closing in
There’s something deep within my soul
That wants to rear it’s ugly head
My heart is filled with dread
My heart is filled with dread
The ice is growing thin
Everywhere you trod upon the Earth
The fertile valley, now barren womb
Deliver us from doom
Deliver us from doom
The wellspring has dried up
The mountain stream has dried up
Life giving river has dried up
Now toxic sludge flows out to the sea
To poison you and me
To poison you and me
And now the tree is fruitless
The tree of life is lifeless
The gift of life was priceless
And you can’t borrow any more thyme
Now that your life is on the line
Now that your life is on the line
The walls are closing in
The walls are closing in
The walls are closing in
The walls are closing in
Well here I come again
Here I come again
Harder than before
And I can’t breathe
Although I try
I suffocate and die
