Tree Of Mortal Vines

lyrics

Tree of Mortal Vines

Asleep beneath the leaves of mortal vines
Planted by the creek where old tombs lie
Across the muddy waves, the boarders line
Across the deck of Old Plum Lake

He lost his way before all the funerals
And many moons before the rivers growth
He fell between the days before the lines
When they planted deep the seed of mortal vines

The clouds hid it all but nothing would hide its vines
Between the roots entwined under the tree of mortal vines

The flowers never bloomed in pink or red,
But 27 shades of black instead
If you don’t take off your shoes at night it’s said
The tree of mortal vines may curse you

Its true there’s never been a sight such as this before
Both leaf and vine owned a dreaming man
Still trapped inside from a million years ago
Or so the legend grows

The clouds hid it all while someone slept inside
Between the roots entwined under the tree of mortal vines
The tree of mortal vines
The tree of mortal vines
