He Is Legend - When The Woods Were Young Lyrics






Will you take me back to when the woods were young?
When I fashioned a cauldron out of a hollow stump
Then I threw in a little of this
And I threw in a little of that
I managed to mumble some mumbo jumbo before I felt your cold dead hands

And we were face to face
I never could forget that day
Her eyes were fires burning miles away
And her lips were so close I could have stolen a taste

Close your eyes, drift off to sleep
You'll be one of us
Beneath my wing
Lost in a dream, kissing the succubus

I hope I never have to wake
I pray to her my soul to take
I beg death for eternal sleep
Come back to me

Will you take me back to when the woods were mine
When I saw her last and I was left behind
I guess she's bored with me
I haven't seen her, haven't slept in weeks
I'm frozen stiff
She's blowing kisses in the pines
I've been shivering here all night, now would you give me a taste

Now death is not the worst
The absence of love is such abject pain
I've been centuries without sleep
Loneliness perched on the roof, waiting with brooding wings
She knows the truth

No one's going to take me back
To when the woods were young

    Guys ,all of these songs are so fresh and entertaining that  I feel guilty not paying for such a masterpiece of work . You can tell when a bands members are ALL working together for a common goal and not just waiting for their turn to solo . This is a stellar effort .

  3. T.... E....

    Love all the throwbacks to I Am Hollywood on this album! Just listen to 1:08 and tell me that's not the riffs off of Eating A Book haha

    H.... C....

    100% eating a book. These guys never fail to please.

  8. W.... ....

    1:20 sounds like, "I picked this rose for you", from China White.

    W.... ....

    @Kain Coughlin there are a few points on the album that sound vaguely familiar. Certain lines and riffs. Even the intro of Skin So Soft reminds me a bit of, Everyone I Know Has Fangs. Wouldn't surprise me if it's intentional.

    W.... ....

    @Whitlee I completely agree. Just bits and pieces throughout the whole album are like fragments of older songs. Which to me isn't a bad thing because I love every song they've ever made. Uncanny Valley = Time to Stain. Their slower stuff is sooo good too, wish they did more.

    W.... ....

    Seems like they touch on every past album on new albums..

    W.... ....

    This is definitely apart of the China White series! The Garden from The Few album too

  9. B.... B....

    I can definitely hear the greatest actor alive in intervals throughout this one.
