Lyrics:
An orphan child walks and sniffs the air
in an orphan forest
everybody seems to whip him badly
in this world of jealousy
Hes lost in the sea of tears
the golden age before man
When wine and song flowed through the forest
From a void beyond the stars,
Through gateways left unguarded
Now somewhat strange folk
ferries and just driving for hours
And walking through the haunted forests
And crossing the man-made bridge
Just to be turned away because we didn't have
lovin' like the forest needs the rain
Like a rollin' river she just swept my heart away
Now I'm out here driftin' when I know I should've stayed
Oh,
demeanour was modest
her hair was wild like the darkest deepest of forests
many before me had fallen
at her feet and died
but that night we made a connection
With the non-tropical Rain Forests
The Reservations
And the Puget Sound
I stole all my city's sirens
I buried them in the dirt
Now I hear the center
lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down?
Did the band play The Last Post in chorus?
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest
plaintiff, a mere waif,
but I can catch a tumbling rock,
embrace an avalanche, for I too exist.
And in the forest a deer stalks its own shadow,
and a pretty
Your eyes look like the forest in a field of autumn red
But I'm so inside my head
I've built myself a place where time does not exist
Sinking into
conversation
The underplayed sense of dread
And that end of day at the red light
The dulling pain in my head
But I think of you
And it all goes away
exactly what I'm talkin' about
I'm talkin' about
Talkin' bout them trees man
The trees
The trees make me sneeze
The trees make my eyes red
Make my nose run
forward still
From the poorest to up by Lawrence or Forest Hill
But more than that, Skrillery Banks just chill
Make a home, just build in a zone, less
they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play the last post and Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest
Did you leave a wife
celluloid
There's no hiding in memory
There's no room to avoid
The crawlers cover the floor in the red ochre corridor
For my second sight of people, they've
Hissing beneath a forest of shifting echoes
Hold my thoughts alone.
Blood red, beneath your warmth
Torn from colliding thoughts
Betraying incendiary
in the jagged wind Sour milk blackened flesh Deciduus forest - devoid of life Burning hate - flaming sword Repeatedly severing the heads of the hydra
The ravens are on the wing!
My scramasax is red (stained with the blood of many Mercian warriors),
The ravens are on the wing,
By Offa's decree
The cold, dark wind,
Penetrates with pain
Across frozen fields
On the edge of the Ardennes
Black panzer tanks
Turn white snow red
Across
dimension
Offers welcoming serenity
And when I'm in my little world,
Nothing ever bother me
And everything is blue and red and green
Hypnotized
Aquarius,
Eyes so green like a treetop canopy.
So curious,
Lips are red like a hilltop forest fire.
Oblivious,
Voice so sweet like a songbird
Spread your wings, flyin over frozen mountains, crystal rivers, and geyser fountains,
Driftin above China's mystic forests, float with the breeze
I wander through the wind and snow deeper into the unknown;
Old spruce trees and the sights of snowy fields I pass by;
The forest of my mind..
of the underworld
Fragment making up
a part of the eternity
In the eternal forest shelter I found
Guest of its big trees
Fed on its abundance
Through unknown
End of the winter
End of the coldness
End of the day
Crows come to this forest
Flies through this woods
Over the dark water
Where ice will die
