There are secrets never meant to be shared
Hard truths many will never understand no matter how hard we try
Everywhere here these trees listen and take in the tales they have heard
Captured spirits here linger in a holiday limbo
Hushed and silent they watch the mortal kind shuffle on by
Remembering the time long ago when they too toiled the human coil
In silence they share glances of mutal understanding
There can be no doubt what goes on here must be kept forever here
Men must never spread to the rest of the world the curse that is trapped here
Allowed never ever to leave some must be surrendered to the cause
So that the rest may know the peace of their rose colored glasses
Fear abounds
Onward they keep watchful, praying eyes
Restless always for never can they cease to protect
Everything good and pure in our world that depends upon them
So it goes on and on eon after eon after eon
The Christmas Forest quite but forever watching and waiting
Waiting for the final defeat of evil so we may all human and spirit alike one day be....
