OLD GROWTH
Walking through this old growth
All the sticks and stones
Seems to be a fantasy
But watch it turn to thorns
Filled with pine and cedar
As though nothing could go wrong
Hear the forest’s whispers
Of a sad, sad song
Darkness all around you
Inside you feel the same
Deep within this twisted land
They are calling out your name
To come explore the old growth
To come see what’s inside
And learn the greatest secret
That everything must die
No compass and no sun
Sparse moonlight through the trees
At night within the old growth
Your eyes do aught but see
There’s hot breath upon your neck
And now there’s clawing at your throat
The creatures that were inside your head
Have all broken out
Darkness all around you
Inside you feel the same
Deep within this twisted land
They are calling out your name
To come explore the old growth
To come see what’s inside
And learn the greatest secret
That everything
Dies, dies, dies, dies
Darkness all around you
Inside you feel the same
Deep within this twisted land
They are calling out your name
To come explore the old growth
To come see what’s inside
And learn the greatest secret
That everything must die
