Story Behind The Song

This song ends part one of the concept-album segment. It is a reflection of the feelings of anyone who has ever tried to make the world a better place and found failure when confronted with the fact that most people are dead set against that sort of thing.

Song Description

Our hero finds his way to a forest, far from the crowd that fully intended to play jump rope with his entrails after he was finished swinging at the end of their rope. He has a further metaphysical transition and actually becomes part of the land that he has found. He merges with this magical place and abandons mankind to its fully deserved fate.

Lyrics

Here, here, in the woods where I fell down,
words, words, trees whisper sacred sounds.
Hum, hum, cicadas call from all around.
Run, run, so tired of running. Try, try, so tired of trying.
Will, will, the will has left me,
I sit and watch the trees bustling the trees.
Calm, calm, leaves and limbs ask me to stay.
Rest, rest, just eat and drink and play.
Sleep, sleep, let the world just fade away.
Run, run, so tired of running. Try, try, so tired of trying.
Gone, gone, the world can't find me...
they're making new regrets, and soon they will all forget.
I'm falling down into a nest of green and brown.
I'll rest my weary soul amidst nature's simple sounds.
I will abandon man as all his cities burn.
I will merge with this land, never to return.
