The trees, they now surround us with their girth and with their might
Rhizomatic saplings take particular delight
In creeping ever closer
In hemming us all in
With inherent knowledge that the burning will begin
Gasping for black air
For black anything we reach
Black punishment, black rage
Black reply for all and each
My eyes they look for green
In among the trees of hell
There's only black and red and grey as far as I can tell
Satan did a dance with me and I danced right along
Maybe somewhat purged I'll be by making up this song
The trees have come to take back what we took away from them
We yanked their roots, claimed their branches, pulled them limb from limb
We stole and violated all that would have been shared swift
We saw inherent harmony, assumed it was our gift
One tree ripped my stomach out
One branch tore my eyes out
Blowing leaves whipped and tore the skin from off my back
They held at bay the mourners
And kept away the worms
Made provisions for a sense of everlasting lack
Satan did a dance with me and I danced right along
Maybe somewhat purged I'll be by making up this song
