lyrics

This forest has eyes, it can see for miles
it knows about the trolls and their pet crocodiles
it knows about the razor wires and the chemical fires
it knows when blood is spilled, it never stands completely still
The left hand of god readjusted the moon
now the clock is ticking out of tune
the doctors spitting all over the room
that gasmask is not enough to save you
But if you don't believe, you've already lost

The trolls that live in the castle eat their gold with silver spoons
if you snore too loud you'll be on the menu too
executions are held in the dining hall to celebrate a bride & groom, or to ring in the new year, or just a Tuesday afternoon
there were diamonds in the mountains
now theres garbage in the water
theres poison in the dirt
the fires only getting hotter
theres sixty billion reasons that we should be much smarter
the holy ghost is clawing at all our sons and daughters
but if you don't believe, you've already lost
