The sun was warm
The ground was torn
Smoke poisoning clouds
From trees of tall
Leaves will fall
Out of season
Shady elm,
Keep me from hell
These suns are much to strong
Crumbling skies
Run for your lives
Don't slip between the cracks
Mountain of filth
Came toppling down
Corroding everyone's life around
Mountain of grace
Puffed out his chest
But couldn't withstand the blow
Shady elm
Drain your well
Douse the fires of war
The birds have flown
Left heat alone
You're shadow has become my
Home, sweet home

Dovetail fawn
Lay your weight down
This patch of grass will
someday
sprout
Your Ivory crown
Instrumental Verse
Lonesome Buck
Across the road
Lick the berries off the ground
I'm taking you home
There's a hunter in your forest
Abide
Fight him or invite him
Don't hide
Lonesome buck
Fill the hole
With the berries of your youth
gently grow old
Dovetail fawn
Your spots fade away
Sun sets on your playground
here's to come another day
Lonesome buck
Savor the fruit from your land
Moon light on your kingdom
Burns the human hand
There's a hunter in your forest don't hide
He's not sure where to go
Blind

I can't pretend that there is no end
To this eternal dream with the ill-sewn seams
Minimal sleep, how 'bout something to eat?
Think I'm losing my mind
Sprouting a beard on a face of fear
Avoiding the climb
Soon, you will see
What it means to be
Alone in the tree
With the deadened leaves
I'm a coiled up rope
Do you have a smoke?
I need to unwind

Men cry out, sounding suprised,
When in fact they're the cause of these apocolyptic skies
Philosophers gather atop Mount Marcy
offering a true and final explaination
Minor Chorus:
Though rhetorical it proved historical
The jargon was etched into the side of the mountain
And the human race had it set in place :
the last heinous effort to rape the earth.
Words are exchanged, handshakes are made
But one bearded man can't understand the need.
Ollen stands on the edge of the face.
A luscious wind reclaims its space
Minor Chorus:
In the distance, A wave emerges
rendering futile the philosophers' urges
Ollen was resiliant, and some say brilliant
For he let their wave wash him away
The streams have drained, canyons implode.
The worried bear scurries to a soft and gentle end.
Fleeing from the scene, snuffing out the screams.
Creatures seek a haven for eternal hibernation
The October Moon burns Shady Elm
Water drags it's roots into a firey hell
A song they sing to the elegant beast
That has given so much and asked for none
The same great beast that now kills for fun,
punishing all
October Moon
Wash them away

Poaching skins and trading furs
Fish hooked for sport
Trees chopped and turned into floors
Living in artificial warmth
Steel bird pollutes the sky
Moving apathetic eyes
Descending fuel runs dry
Miracle if one survives
It's getting colder
Frightened by the winter's night
No sign of life (here)
Warding off fanged frostbite
No chance of sight (here)
Despite the glistening white
Footprints mark the perimeter
Of a camp far from home
Fire lights faces of leather
Exchanging tales of hope
Wolves howl at a hollow sky
Bears scrape the earth
Fangs close in on the men who
Violated Nature's turf
Off in the distance
But charging rather close
The stoic horn sounds from
The Psychedelic Moose
Rescue or relief
He sets the sentients loose
