The trees penished in the wind Beating each other, black and ominous A strong wind reigning over the earth The earth itself was a desolation Without life, without movement So solitary and cold that spirit Was not even of that sadness Black shadow reigning on your side The energies being depleted by the earth The hum of the swamp seemed to be laughing Of the futile of life And the futile effort to live Your way will be under the earth Lost in the swamp Your way will be under the earth Lost in the swamp Your way will be under the earth Lost in the swamp
