Dragged Across A Forest Floor - Woods of Ypres[00:00:00]
Another era has come to an end[00:00:48]
You'll return to where it began[00:00:52]
Wandering at night on Ypres Rd [00:00:56]
To determine why you walk in the woods alone[00:01:00]
A piece of out history I used to honour[00:01:04]
They disrespected and disgraced[00:01:08]
They took the ground upon which I walked[00:01:12]
And rubbed it in my face[00:01:17]
To me these woods are but a forest of metaphors[00:01:21]
And nothing more[00:01:25]
A path through the woods of my past[00:01:29]
Where I was dragged across a forest floor[00:01:33]
They breathe in the stagnant air[00:01:37]
The poison sky shelters them from the sun[00:01:41]
No exposure nothing grows[00:01:45]
No one ever wonders what lies beyond[00:01:49]
So set in their old ways[00:01:53]
They could only hope for change[00:01:57]
Instead they flaunt their stubborn pride[00:02:02]
Digging their own graves[00:02:06]
To me these woods are but a forest of metaphors[00:02:10]
And nothing more[00:02:14]
A path through the woods of my past[00:02:18]
Where I was dragged across a forest floor[00:02:22]
I see the truth hidden between the trees[00:02:29]
These tough woods are but delicate forest[00:02:35]
Everyone for themselves in the hallowed name of unity[00:02:38]
Finding comfort in their misery[00:02:59]
They were doomed beyond the reach of help[00:03:03]
Saved only by the unconditional love[00:03:07]
Of hate for a place they couldn't live without[00:03:10]
All that I hoped to change[00:03:15]
Would not be reversed by words alone[00:03:18]
It would require all of their efforts[00:03:23]
The lack of which was already set in stone[00:03:27]
At a time when I could take no more[00:03:35]
I was dragged across a forest floor[00:03:43]
Sticks and stones[00:03:53]
The combined discomfort of hundreds of pains[00:03:57]
Thorns and Needles[00:04:07]
I pull them out of my skin[00:04:12]
While walking home[00:04:17]
Accept the fact that they've missed your point[00:04:20]
Conceal your motives and all your thoughts[00:04:24]
Keep your opinions to yourself[00:04:28]
Give them exactly what they want[00:04:32]
There's no hope for understanding[00:04:36]
Our differences would not be solved[00:04:40]
For my survival and my sanity[00:04:44]
In time I learned to have tolerance for you all[00:04:48]
Bite your tongue until it bleeds[00:04:53]
Choke down the blood so no one sees[00:05:01]
Fight the tears[00:05:09]
Let them fall within[00:05:13]
While you're here[00:05:17]
Never let your weakness show[00:05:22]
These woods are full of hope[00:06:11]
These woods are where I walk alone[00:06:26]
Even at times[00:07:42]
When standing still[00:07:45]
Strength and speed[00:07:48]
Still lie dormant within[00:07:51]
You will see me channel the pain[00:07:55]
As blood leaves my core and fills my veins[00:08:01]
These woods are but a forest of metaphors[00:08:13]
And nothing more[00:08:16]
The tall trees above[00:08:29]
They are the ones that exist[00:08:32]
The fallen leaves are those that have fallen to my feet[00:08:34]
The trails of broken branches[00:08:40]
These are the mistakes you make[00:08:42]
The seeds are the ones to be that I push in the earth[00:08:45]
With every step I take[00:08:48]
