Industry, misery, across this land
Catastrophic, economic, bait
Gallivanting, understanding this can’t last
Catacombs and medicals await
Call me names; let me explain; it’s not like that
You can’t expect me to lift this weight
Overblown; please just don’t...
Can’t the explain the misery I take
This is not my homeland; I have travelled from afar
When I was just a little kitten my father told me of his battle scars
He said “daughter you will grow up to take up what is mine
An empire of great import; of export and supply
But when he died he left me nothing; he was bitter and depressed
I swore I’d never let it happen to me; I put my people to the test
So don’t make me the villian in your pageant or your play
I’m just here to make a killing; history; a name
I savor ever moment; knowing everything will fade
at the start of every birdsong, I recall my fathers shame
I know where you move your little meeples; they’re all within my sight
I claim this land for my people; if not by right then might!
Industry, misery, across this land
Catatonic, workaholic, base
Never boring; you’ll tell me story some day
Categorically; manifestly, great
But give me a chance; take my hand maybe there is another way
A new catechism; a brand new vision; a new woodland; a new day

Nobody can withstand
Our face-down plots and our plans
We know the secrets you got
Wrap them around your neck and let drop
So you rule, we don’t care
How are you gonna kill what’s not there?
Abandon all you hold dear
You think we’re coming, we’re already here
Murder
Fraud
Corvid
Explode, ensnare
Sow the seeds of fear and despair
Extortion, card draw
No place for trust in the invisible war
Mercy, we’ve got none
But let’s call it a draw on that one
Burn everything you hold dear
You think we’re coming, we’re already here
Murder
Fraud
Corvid
C-O-R-V-I-D
Conspiracy

I crawl out from my home of a half dead tree
Early morning stretch, drink up some tea,
Smell smoke rising, encampment is near
Birds and cats trying to take my fair share
You are what you eat, excuse my odd ticks
I’m prone to fall faint, but hey, it’s my shtick
My teeth aren’t sharp, it’s all just a trick
My tongue is the blade, the slice is the lick
I walk up to them with the worst of intentions,
The trash on my breath gets all the attention
“Did you all hear what they’re up to today?
Said that your mamma was born a stray.”
Ad hominem,
Throw up all the word vomit on them
Straw men make marks, I’m just propping them
Copy them,
Mocking them,
“Anyone stopping them?”
Ego fed, seeing red, while their head’s dropping numb
Stage is set, warriors awaken
Don’t know what they’re fighting for, just know they’re mistaken
That’s them, right there, they’re the giant pricks
Take out your knives, sharpen up your sticks
I watch on, with an evil delight
Animal’s kin, join in on the fight
Lend out the torch to the bird on my right
He burn down the camp, the clearing’s a-light
Chaos reigns, and I am its castor
The flames grow higher, my heart beats faster
The battle collapses, they flee for their masters
And then, silence.
Nothing left but a woodland disaster.
Night comes softly, I take my leave
Go back to my home of a half dead tree
No beast, nor army, nor powerful throne
Will ever rule the forest I own.

I understand the glares, and constant bickering
I like to think myself an ally, Though it isn’t true
I’m not the forests friend, I’m more Kanye than Kim
But its not my fault I don’t care about any one but me
Rambling round this forest, hated as I be
No real job but piss em off, I’m not the cat’s stupid employee
I must admit I’m not too concerned about my action economy
Because it wont be long till I’ll be strong the forest it will be mine
I wont apologize for this one way game
I hate the rules, and hate you too, and hate how you complain
Don’t tell me what to do remember its a game
Or I’ll take your keep, take your tea, and take the game
Rambling round this forest, hated as I be
No real job but piss em off, I’m not the cat’s stupid employee
I must admit I’m not too concerned about my action economy
Because it wont be long till I’ll be strong the forest it will be mine

(VERSE 1)
Come here my child and wipe your tears
It’s time you understood your fears
Your father plays a role you do not know yet
He’s gone away into the wood
We hope for days and not for good
Your pain’s the same as mine, no shame to show it
Why must he go, to understand
You must first know, these weren’t our lands
We traveled far and had to leave with haste, dear
We could feel the changes on the wind
Chose to leave before the wars begin
But we’re missing special pieces from this place, here
(CHORUS)
Where’s father gone? He’s gone to delve.
When will he return? Time will tell.
Why must he go? Our relics call.
He heeds the past as do we all.
(VERSE 2)
Hewn from stone or hammered gold
A relic’s a memory we can hold
They may be left behind but not forgotten
They hold our past of who we’ve been
Of what we’ve done and where we’ve seen
The pieces of a past that’s now downtrodden
So our bravest go where the relics lay
And make their camp where battles rage
They march our caravans with armor plating
And when they’re done they will return
For those who made it through the churn
And as one we’ll raise our songs in celebrating
(CHORUS 2)
That's where he’s gone, he’s gone to delve.
And his return? Only time will tell.
Why must he go? Our relics call.
He heeds the past as do we all.
