The Weald Lyrics

The brightening sunrise creeps it's way in

As gently old branches sway in the wind

Conducting a chorus thousands strong

In deafening whispers offer their song

Venturing deeper, lose the way

Well-trodden footpaths melt away

To crumbling banks of mud and soil

Serpentine roots that writhe and coil

The limpid, green ceiling blots out the sky

Branches like arches holding it high

Trunks; twisted columns, strong and tall

Verdant moss carpet covering all

Can't shake the feeling I'm not alone

Am I being watched by eyes unknown?

Trespassing in this wild place

Unwelcome guests should leave with haste

Out of place, out of time

Out in the weald

No way back, losing track

From the world concealed

The strong arms of branches bar your path

The chirping of song birds, mocking laugh

Daylight is fading, trees closing in

Lost in the forest, trapped deep within

The light growing darker, air turns cold

Noises surround me, panic takes hold

Glinting reflections, eyes in the night

Growing in number, take your flight

Out of place, out of time

Out in the weald

No way back, losing track

From the world concealed
