There is a place where this world lives and breathes
A place you've only seen in photographs
A place that you idolize, but you'll never know
Because you choose to not know
To know the God of this forest
This God of the trees
This God of the brooks
This God of the wind and the rain
This God of the mountains and the valleys
For in your mind, these things are no more
These things are nonexistent
These things are paved and priced

Doomed from day one
Doomed, God's only son
Doomed from day one
Doomed, the chosen one: God
Summon the dead
Awaken, oh sleeper!
Something lurks deep within me
How do I know that this it?
What makes me sure of it?
Show me the sun when she's not shining
Still... what is my hope may be your eternal suffering

In these virgin woods, the traces of man are but a footstep
Not a sound of civilization, nor a whisper of invention
There is none but the God of this forest,
And all of his creation
Only time will tell, will this be a lasting haven?
Or a place of unholy pavement?
One with the earth
One with the sea

From the river to the coast:
Lumber, ice, and ships we boast
Always cutting until it bleeds
Always taking more than we need
Building towns along its flow, as we curse its undertow
Industries beginning to falter, so we pillage the river's altar
Dumping waste into her gut, as we carry this selfish glut
She is dead and headless now
And we claim "we don't know how"
She becomes a sickening mess
Her rites are read as she's laid to rest
But her lovers are remaining strong,
Dedicating their lives to her song
She sings, "tempt me, tempt me, tempt me...
Just wait and see"
Down by the Kennebec
Down by the river bed
She will cut your neck
She will take your head
