aftertime – amongst the trees lyrics
[verse 1]
i remember the fog, a shimmering nebula
slowly washed in on the breeze
at the center of town, she took her form
and sweetly announced our convictions
a disarming voice, lullaby sweet arose
as if sung by the trees
“bountiful hunts, protection from danger
i’ve given you for generations”
[pre+chorus]
campfires sputtered and torches burnt out
tools now rusted were falling apart
buildings did groan as wood rotted away
some nights in my dream i can still hear her say
[chorus]
“i have watched and protected you night after night
staved off your hungеr from famine and blight
your hunts were succеssful, your quarry was ripe
you community flourished, your future was bright
but you took and you took, you consumed to no end
acres of forests and rivers you’ve stemmed
the pain you have caused you cannot comprehend
you’ve broken my trust now your souls i will rend”
[verse 2]
i remember the dusk, kicked up from the chaos
it eddied through moonlight beams
lost in confusion, i could not break free
from the terror that held me in place
then an image of refuge lucid in mind
gave me hope through the burgeoning screams
i dared now to run till i found my safe haven
within the roots of an oak tree’s embrace
[pre+chorus]
campfires smothered, their warmth given out
tools were useless and crumbled apart
buildings collapsed, their supports given way
all these years later i still hear her say
[chorus]
“i have watched and protected you night after night
staved off your hunger from famine and blight
your hunts were successful, your quarry was ripe
you community flourished, your future was bright
but you took and you took, you consumed to no end
acres of forests and rivers you’ve stemmed
the pain you have caused you cannot comprehend
you’ve broken my trust now your souls i will rend”
[guitar solo]
[verse 3]
silence had fallen, daring to peek
at the carnage that had been done
i lifted my eyes but was stunned when i saw
the shimmering standing before me
a pathway had opened leading me out
it glowed with the rising sun
she told me to leave, but always remember
this night amongst the trees
[chorus]
“i have watched and protected you night after night
staved off your hunger from famine and blight
your hunts were successful, your quarry was ripe
you community flourished, your future was bright
but you took and you took, you consumed to no end
acres of forests and rivers you’ve stemmed
the pain you have caused you cannot comprehend
now listen dear closely, your life will contend”
[spoken word]
“to the future you will bear this message i send
any soul that defies me will be forever condemned”
