Mad Growth

from Demo 2013 by Oglin

lyrics

Dark lie the shadows in the land of fortune
Where everyone dreams of gold
There is a tree, a thing of wonder
With deep-lying roots that circumvent the world
Ever growing, ever watered
Dependent on its growth, is all we've ever heard
So most of us close our eyes, dwell more on the riches it provides,
than the fact that it's almost blocking out the sun.
But in dark corners, secret places
Some question the general consent

Who will say no
Who will dare halt
The mad growth

So heavy with fruit abundant,
branches bend ever down and claw into the earth
Come autumn and the fruits are gone, the tree all barren and still become;
satisfied with quenched thirst
Now we notice we're shut away, root and branch they form a cage
The ones who whispered almost falter, looking for someone brave

Who will say no
Who will dare halt
The mad growth

“I'll do it!”, says the fox in the caramel costume
“My mission: A swift incision
A little breaking, a little twisting
And out you go!”

The fox in the caramel costume
Always on the outside looking in
With broken teeth, unruly hair, wicked smile, defiant air
We were wise to pick a hero with nothing to lose

(Stories of the vagrant with his hand-pulled cart
Sleeping in the grass on the edge of the wood
Stealing in and out of other's lives
Free under the open sky)

Dark lie the shadows, in the land behind you
where everyone is growing cold
Come with me down the backward road
Follow me down the lowly road
I'll show you real freedom
