Construction & Destruction - Slash and Burn Lyrics

And how harrowing the fall
And how to sound the warning call
And how to cut, and thrust
And wound through and through
And strike down, and truncate too

How to stand a felled body
Unwilling to support its own weight
When to yield, when to bait
To cultivate or to lay waste

You laid yourself out too
And gleaned like a magpie
While the wolf looked on
And the blasted pine withdrew

Don't do what I did
Don't do what I did
Don't do what I did

How to stand a felled body
Unwilling to support its own weight
When to yield, when to bait
To cultivate or to lay waste
