If you go down to the woods today

You're sure of a big surprise

If you go down to the woods today...





Shush, come follow.

Bring your perfectly balanced skeleton,

filthy and barefoot.

Tread carefully upon these

wet leaves and dank earth

For this landscape may swallow

your white face into it's granite heart.



Quick, hurry now.

Beat down the boundaries of this wild wood,

with your body and mind.

In this spiteful undergrowth

we will reap and plough

a thousand years of the past,

that lay smothered by the present.



Look! Almost there.

Bathe in the beautiful deep river where

the water runs cold.

Sleep sound on it's silent bed,

That lures your pale face

And perfectly glowing flesh,

and lies beneath with many a weed.



Shush, do not cry

Never shall you be alone where you lay

In your watery grave

I will never leave your side.

Beautiful white face,

do not stay alone in the

Dark wood at night when all is silent.



Beautiful white face!

Stay with me forever,

where the water runs cold.
