Turtle Road Lyrics

Walking down this woodland trail

Through summer air so thick with rain

For fertile ground I've set my sails

And there I will remain

But the grass beneath my aching toes

Suddenly has ceased to grow

And now I'm staring out in shock

Across an endless stretch of rock

The greenery has fled the scene

Exposed me in the dimming day

Two yellow lines like sunny streams

Extending all the way

To the north it never ends

And the south is just the same my friends

The surface flat and hard as stone

Dividing me and my new home

Assessing risks rewards and costs

The silence sees me march my feet across

I make my lonely way along

A barren land of empty waste

The scent of fear is riding strong

Of life there's not a trace

My eyes observing all around

My ears aware of every sound

With branches arching off the trees

The tunnel towers over me

The universe must wear a grin

For once it deals a dose of change

For every truth we've taken in

A lie could be exchanged

'Cause in the newly fallen night

The south reveals two beams of light

The growling of a thousand bears

Ripping wildly through the air

A sea of light surrounds my shell

With a wall of sound bearing down as well

A howling flash, a rush of wind

And silence seems to swiftly settle in
