Grand Elder Lyrics

Born just an ordinary man

Absorbed energy from the creator's hands

The roots of everything drawing in

Giving me more lifetimes than lives there have ever been

But what must I do with this power

The world is mine to save

Or to devour because

I am the Grand Elder

Ruler of all that is green

I am the Grand Elder

Nothing survives without me

Stare through the canopy at all the flies

Who squandered all the gifts I gave in this mass suicide

Run through the dying forest and you will find

The usurper who wants all bodies and minds

As the seasons change

We reach the final hour

The world is mine to save

Or to devour because

I am the Grand Elder

Ruler of all that is green

I am the grand Elder

Nothing survives without me

I am the Grand Elder

Ruler of all that is green

I am the Grand Elder

Nothing survives without me

The prince takes what he wants

As society unfurls

If you could ease my mind (I'm terrified)

Never read my mind (fucking terrorised)

Hell is what you'll find

You can't have inner peace

Ignoring the bodies lining the streets

Oh so unique

How special you'll be when you're swallowed

When you're swallowed

By her and me

Cover with earth

The roots of our cult

Cover with earth

The roots of our cult

The roots of our cult

The roots of our cult

The roots of our cult

The roots of your

The roots of mine

The roots of your fucking cult
