THE WOODS

There's a girl out there
Walking real slow
Grief sings on the air
Fire, ash and smoke
She may be gone for now
But she'll be back again

Starvations running the sky
The days are hot, wells are dry
Picking off the common folk
Coming for their loved ones and their throats
Pray to last the night
But there's not much left to die
Famine circles, takes a bite
As hunger steals their life and then their lives

The devils sit on white chairs
As the people sing to the wind

Oh the day will come
When your dates read
Hear that hungry noise
See the hells fed
Oh and then you'll run
But just so you know
Anywhere you go
Oh the woods will know

Wealth sits on a throne
Here wells overflow
Lounging under money trees
Set to bring the whole world to its knees it claims the air you breathe

Burns what it can't seize
There's no force as feverish as avarice, as greed
The devils claim their saviours
As the people starve and spirits sing

Oh the day will come
When your dates read
Hear that hungry noise
See the hells fed
Oh and then you'll run
But just so you know
Anywhere you go
Oh the woods will know

The dirt told the grass and the fields told the flowere
The folly of man and those seated in power
Briars told branches and leaves told the trees
It takes one song to break rich knees

Grove told the glen and the vale told the meadow
They sang the same song and they let the noise echo
Streams told the rivers and hills told the mountain
Till one angry girl heard the whisper of sound and

She could hear the earth
Hear it screaming
Hear that hungry noise
Ripe for feeding
She could hear the ground
Hear it's beating
Earth and dirt were done
With their cheating
She packed up her gun
Joined in with the sound
Couldn't kill me then
And you can't kill me now

Oh the day will come
When your dates read
Hear that hungry noise
See the hells fed
Oh even the Sun
Knows what you said
Lay your head upon
Dirt and deathbed
Oh and then you'll run
But just so you know
Anywhere you go
Oh the woods will know
