The Bastard Sapling by Hammers Of Misfortune Lyrics

The forest lends it's life to me
And loyal to her oaken Creed
On her ethereal winds I rove
Up above the race I loathe

My roots are flesh and blood
But supple as the soil they suck

A bastard sapling when the winter
Calls me down and brings me life

And when the nights falling down on me
I watch the demons fly

I wake the trees and give them speech
Their words will teach me the ills of mankind
Walk this path and feel my pain
Full of hatred and distain

My birth is still a mystery
Unto the skies and the earth I plead
An explanation for this curse
Be it gold or be it dirt
I feel a darkness drawing near
Barbaric voices invade my kingdom
Lurking shadows follow me
Of a man I cannot see

The earth casts shadows on his race
I bare no party to this disgrace
I bare his form but not his mind
To my past the world is blind
