lyrics

Standing proud, the elders dream
Slow to take root, rise patiently
To an enormous size, so self assured
Magnificent for all in the grove
Blots out the sky, an earthen lifeline
To the sacred before the void

In an instant to be felled!
In the tooth of man, fate to be held
Their legacy reduced, ancient wisdom infused
with so much sawdust and churned soil,
blood and toil...

And though they stood for so long here
whispering triumphant for all to hear
once fallen, nothing can recall them
Though nothingness will exact it's vengeance.

Could I be at once the tree, the chainsaw and the logger?
Could we be at once the sea, the river and the fish sent to slaughter?

Archaic Earth image

Archaic Earth Mount Forest, Ontario

Born of dripping moss and delving roots, formed in the dark places beyond the veil and sung by the fire and fury of creation itself.
