Fängs: The Forest Knows

The Forest Knows [Verse I] Beneath the boughs where shadows grow, I walked a path no map could show, The oaks stood still, the ravens froze, All whispered secrets the Forest knows. The moss concealed forgotten graves, The roots entwined the bones of knaves, A cold wind sighed through thorn and rose— A voice from depths that darkness knows. [Pre-Chorus] I felt cold eyes unseen upon my soul, Ancient as the earth, aglow like coal, Every step, every fear, every path I chose— Lay bare, exposed, for the Forest knows. [Chorus] The Forest knows, the Forest sees, The blood beneath the ancient trees, It heeds the vows, the lies we sow, The Forest listens... more than you know. The Forest knows what lies beneath, The rattle of our gnashing teeth, Aeons before our hearts first rose— The Forest knows. [Verse II] It watched the hunter stalk the deer, It sensed how the tyrant shook with fear, Saw the crown of a king laid down to rest As roots broke through his gilded chest. The lovers carved their fleeting names, Like embers vanished into flames, Yet still beneath the moonlight's glow— The Forest knows what mortals owe. [Chorus] The Forest knows, the Forest sees, The blood beneath the ancient trees, It heeds the vows, the lies we sow, The Forest listens... more than you know. The Forest knows what lies beneath, The rattle of our gnashing teeth, Aeons before our hearts first rose— The Forest knew... the Forest knows. [Bridge] And when my footsteps fade like frost, And all I've gained is all I've lost, No stone shall mark where I repose— Yet still I'll dwell where the Forest knows. My name will drift on winter's breath, A fleeting leaf in the Winds of Death, Beneath the roots where silence grows— I'll be a secret the Forest knows. The Forest knows… [Final Chorus] The Forest knows, the Forest sees, The blood beneath the ancient trees, It heeds the vows, the lies we sow, The Forest listens... more than you know. The Forest knows what lies beneath, The rattle of our gnashing teeth, Aeons before our hearts first rose— The Forest knew... the Forest knows. The Forest knows. The Forest knows…
