lyrics

Thousand Acre Swamp

Something is moving under the mud
something is thinking it’s time has come
the cattails are quaking the crow’s on the wing
the trees might know something they dont say a thing

The people are sleeping at home in their bed
oblivious to the impending dread
children in their rooms, dew on the lawn
the sun it is rising on their final dawn

Something has risen with the first light
something is bringing in eternal night
the dawn of awareness ascends with the sun
screaming and fleeing now on the run

Natures realm defiled
retribution now
Hunter finds its prey
Ancient debt repaid
Neighborhood in flames
ashes charred remains
Soon the creepers grow
over human bones…
