The Worm & The Tree, Pt. 1: Introduction / Menace / Occupation |
Into a great tree, a small worm did go |
It wormed its way inwards, and soon it did grow |
The tree was unhappy, but what could it do? |
It stood there in silence: the worm grew and grew |
The tree was unhappy, but what could it say |
The worm kept on growing, the tree shrank away |
The worm was so greedy, it ate more each day |
And each day it ate more, the tree shrank away |
The worm was so loathsome, it felt no disgrace |
The birds had been silenced, the sun shunned that place |
And all of the forest grew fearful to see |
What terrible fate lay in store for the tree |
The worm grew so monstrous, its greed knew no bounds |
The smell was so awful, if poisoned the ground |
And all of the creatures that lived in the wood |
Were sickened and starving: the worm spoiled their food |
The birds could not sing, and the sun could not shine |
The forest lay dirty and blackened with grime |
