Olde Growth

lyrics

<<Their peace is soon disturbed by the reverberations of felled trees and approaching voices in the distance, the great guardians of their kingdom now under threat of conquest. The song of the sprites rises to a vicious, unrelenting shriek; vengeance shall be exacted upon the unwelcome invaders.>>

From across the sea
they brought their saws and chains
Choked the land, took all in sight
Siphoned the very last drop
And scorched the earth beneath them
But our roots remain unsevered
the memory of the land
Spirit haunts the barren ground
And waits to rise again


We shall preserve our stronghold
Die before surrender to control
Destroy all we know and in return
We survive and watch you burn

Our glee, leaves shake and we begin
To thwart your plans to change what’s been
The mold, the dirt, the trees where you decay
Hatred and spite will lead you astray
The birch, the elm, the pine
Sacred bloodline
Swallow you whole, the balance aligns

Something rattles in the underbrush
Gnarling, snarled, a thicket set to trap
Here there is no peace nor prosper
All you’ve built doomed to collapse
This curse was yours to inherit
See what we can grow between the cracks

Counting your sins like rings on a tree
With your demise we’ll soon be free
