The Old Oak Lyrics


I walk unto the forest

This black land that haunts my dreams

The spirits call my name

The wind does forewarn me so it seems

Blackened sky above me

Putrid ground below me

The rain sweeps across my face

The wind that blows has a lack of grace



The time is now to face this demon of old

This abomination/grotesque fiend

Untamed shades/ghastly apparitions

The time is now to face this demon of old



I walk upon the roots

Of the grim old oak dead in front of me

I cast my life into its heart

And the gift of life has come to be

More than ever strong

Less than hell can’t hold me chained

More than ever brave

The demons come to be maimed



The time is now to face this demon of old

This Abomination/grotesque fiend

Untamed shades/ghastly apparitions

The time is now to face this demon of old

I see the hell fires awaken

The tree gross in blood

Black tar seeps from the roots

My boots soaked in gore



I breathe in the smell

Bleak like death

Smoke coming from its breath

As I trudge down its opened mouth

The time is now to face this demon of old

This Abomination/grotesque fiend

Untamed shades/ghastly apparitions

The time is now to face this demon of old
