Appalachian Winter - Forest of a Thousand Ghosts
текст песни

Deep in the wilderness, something screams.
Deep in the wilderness, something cries for its life.

We stand and listen as one unseen entity brutally overpowers another.
The unseen struggle, made vivid by presence of sound and lack of sight.

Deep in the wilderness, something screams and the forest comes alive, echoing whispers of fear and agony.
We stand and feel the tense air,
Frozen by ancient memories older than the land.
Continued wails and the rustle of leaves betray an agonizing fight against death.

Deep in the wilderness, something screams.
Deep in the wilderness, fear is never far away.

We stand and feel the tense air, beholding another scream as flesh rends from flesh.
The stars above, winking down, as something out there is dying.

Deep in the wilderness, something ceased screaming.
A hush falls upon the forest.

We stand and feel the tense air give out.
The song of fear and agony dies, too.
Cannot the peaceful stars be asked to care of the passing of one sentient being?

In silence, two entities return to the forest,
One of them empowered by new life,
The other as a ghost among thousands.
