Lost In The Trees

Listen up, tell you about the forgotten nights.
A great treasure was to behold
Brought down through ancient stories told.

Natives in the rain swept forest
Call out into the foggy ruins of night 
Hunters gather around their prize
Forgotten Gods now on their side
Blow pipes, war paint, poison darts
Beating, sacrificing, torn out hearts
Hear them pounding on their drums
Women, loose, lined up, hoping to come
Waiting, praying, believes in the sun
Owned us, loaned us, take your debt.
Gentle, whistling, whispering breeze
Rustling, swirling, lost in the trees 
Winding, finding, following me
Slowing, growing, misery
Guiding, rising, reach the alter
Sacrifice, unsatisfied, use your daughter
Bloating, gloating, full of pride
Something inside us all has died.
