Cowardice - Eastern Woodland Reverie Lyrics

It's come to my attention
That it's been far too long

Since our last sojourn
Into the weeping vines

Amid the crooked husks
And the hollowed trunks

I want to lay my bones down
Upon the the wooded glen

I'm met with new encroachments
With every pilgrimage

The waystones keep eroding
The path is lost to time

The whispering branches echo
A retributive call

To reconquer
And reinvigorate the wild

I am
The magus in the wood

I bear
The aegis on my breast

Whoso-
Ever does transgress

My threshold
Shall be swallowed up
And what gives you the right

To loose your ploughs

Upon the roots

Into the soil and through

Your presumption

Is most telling, to us

Your poisoned furrows

We tread upon
I am
The magus in the wood

I bear
The aegis on my breast

Whoso-
Ever does transgress

My threshold
Shall be swallowed up

This wood Is my ward

Now and for as long As long as I shall live

An epoch shall pass

Under my watch
Under this canopy
