Lyrics Callistemon - Botanist

Callistemon

Callistemon’s thirst must be quenched
Legion thirty-four strong
Come the vernal equinox
Burst forth
Coaxed by flame
Seed capsules explode
From within smoldering stamens
As pollinated filaments turn to ash
Teeming with hepialid larvae
Its bark writhes with life
Burrowed deep within
To later take flight
