about

An metaphor? An allegorical tale of the end of the world...perhaps climate change, perhaps... the first song recorded for the album and incredibly powerful

lyrics

Father can’t climb, he says that it’s time
Winter ate spring, it’s taken everything
All that remains won’t turn into flames
No table or chair, just a bed of despair
Oo they need the last branch of the tree
Give the boy a rope, tie it to our hope
A coat and a hat and the head of an ax
She cries not yet, her cheeks are wet
A goodbye kiss and a mother’s wish
But we need the last branch of the tree
Feel the weight in the air, she holds a lock of hair
He can only pace around the empty space
Now just the two, the boy was the glue
No prodigal son or the jealous one
Oo they need the last branch of the tree
