《Dragged Across A Forest Floor》歌词

[00:00:00] Dragged Across A Forest Floor - Woods of Ypres

[00:00:48] Another era has come to an end

[00:00:52] You'll return to where it began

[00:00:56] Wandering at night on Ypres Rd

[00:01:00] To determine why you walk in the woods alone

[00:01:04] A piece of out history I used to honour

[00:01:08] They disrespected and disgraced

[00:01:12] They took the ground upon which I walked

[00:01:17] And rubbed it in my face

[00:01:21] To me these woods are but a forest of metaphors

[00:01:25] And nothing more

[00:01:29] A path through the woods of my past

[00:01:33] Where I was dragged across a forest floor

[00:01:37] They breathe in the stagnant air

[00:01:41] The poison sky shelters them from the sun

[00:01:45] No exposure nothing grows

[00:01:49] No one ever wonders what lies beyond

[00:01:53] So set in their old ways

[00:01:57] They could only hope for change

[00:02:02] Instead they flaunt their stubborn pride

[00:02:06] Digging their own graves

[00:02:10] To me these woods are but a forest of metaphors

[00:02:14] And nothing more

[00:02:18] A path through the woods of my past

[00:02:22] Where I was dragged across a forest floor

[00:02:29] I see the truth hidden between the trees

[00:02:35] These tough woods are but delicate forest

[00:02:38] Everyone for themselves in the hallowed name of unity

[00:02:59] Finding comfort in their misery

[00:03:03] They were doomed beyond the reach of help

[00:03:07] Saved only by the unconditional love

[00:03:10] Of hate for a place they couldn't live without

[00:03:15] All that I hoped to change

[00:03:18] Would not be reversed by words alone

[00:03:23] It would require all of their efforts

[00:03:27] The lack of which was already set in stone

[00:03:35] At a time when I could take no more

[00:03:43] I was dragged across a forest floor

[00:03:53] Sticks and stones

[00:03:57] The combined discomfort of hundreds of pains

[00:04:07] Thorns and Needles

[00:04:12] I pull them out of my skin

[00:04:17] While walking home

[00:04:20] Accept the fact that they've missed your point

[00:04:24] Conceal your motives and all your thoughts

[00:04:28] Keep your opinions to yourself

[00:04:32] Give them exactly what they want

[00:04:36] There's no hope for understanding

[00:04:40] Our differences would not be solved

[00:04:44] For my survival and my sanity

[00:04:48] In time I learned to have tolerance for you all

[00:04:53] Bite your tongue until it bleeds

[00:05:01] Choke down the blood so no one sees

[00:05:09] Fight the tears

[00:05:13] Let them fall within

[00:05:17] While you're here

[00:05:22] Never let your weakness show

[00:06:11] These woods are full of hope

[00:06:26] These woods are where I walk alone

[00:07:42] Even at times

[00:07:45] When standing still

[00:07:48] Strength and speed

[00:07:51] Still lie dormant within

[00:07:55] You will see me channel the pain

[00:08:01] As blood leaves my core and fills my veins

[00:08:13] These woods are but a forest of metaphors

[00:08:16] And nothing more

[00:08:29] The tall trees above

[00:08:32] They are the ones that exist

[00:08:34] The fallen leaves are those that have fallen to my feet

[00:08:40] The trails of broken branches

[00:08:42] These are the mistakes you make

[00:08:45] The seeds are the ones to be that I push in the earth

[00:08:48] With every step I take
