Forests of Legend

A shadowed existence veiled in mystery 
Swallowed by sound from dwellers of the trees 
A strange world thrives on a floor of decay 
From rotting death, breaking through the fray… A forest 

Enter the shadow realm 
Giants hold claim to the sky and ground 
Keepers of gloom and great oddities 
Sustain the ways of the forest keep 

Ancient kingdoms, creeping lines 
Split apart by roots of time 

Voices from inside seem to pull you in 
Dark wisdom runs on the still, damp wind 
Glow of the eye, fear the gaze 
The great ape returns disconnected and changed 

Ancient kingdoms, creeping lines 
Split apart by roots of time 

Twisted land, twisted sky 
Twisted circuit we call our mind 
We push our will to change a world 
Which has a spirit, has a soul 
Borneo, Amazon 
Once it goes it is gone 
The legend is all that remains 
Of the forests of old and grand domains 

Legends only arise in the face of difficult times 
A forest that stands on its own 
In the truth of a desolate world is where the legend will grow 

No cover from the sun 
Carcass fields of fallen ones 
Biding time, seeds remain 
Tyrants fall, earth reclaims 

Ancient kingdoms, creeping lines 
Split apart by roots of time 
A strange world thrives on a floor of decay 
From broken rubble, breaking through the fray… A forest
