lyrics

From earth they rose in wretched pain
To leave the hillside bare
They have caught the wicked stench
Of woodsmoke in the air
The fury of the timber shakes the earth
And roots unyielding and gnarled
March against the towns of man
To reclaim their world
A wrathful fire is burning
Deep in the ancient woods
The trees begin to awaken
With a thirst for human blood
Down from the mountains out from the fields
They wake and they take flight
The old, the young, the trees have come
Children of earthbound might
No man is safe when the forest walks
Everywhere they spread
Steel won't pierce their wooden skin
Fire won't leave them dead
Finally their hour has come
For they've endured too long
The pain of humans in their lands
It's time to avenge their wrongs.

Goblin Hovel recommends:

The Deer Will Hunt
by Where She Wept

I have heard everything from Evoken to My Dying Bride, and I still think Where She Wept is darker in sound and execution than any other gothic/doom band. And they don't even need a violin. Goblin Hovel
go to album
Witch of the Northern Frost
by Nazgûl

This is cold, meditative, and plain old desolate black metal done right. A must have for the worshipers of 90's style Norwegian folk/black metal! Goblin Hovel
go to album
Advent
by Wandering Oak

Every member of Oak is an absurdly talented musician and their cohesion as players and people is awe inspiring in and of itself. The music is intricate, but emotional; wild, yet thoughtful. Goblin Hovel
