Grand Elder

Born just an ordinary man
Absorbed energy from the creator's hands
The roots of everything drawing in
Giving me more lifetimes than lives there have ever been
But what must I do with this power
The world is mine to save
Or to devour because

I am the Grand Elder
Ruler of all that is green
I am the Grand Elder
Nothing survives without me

Stare through the canopy at all the flies
Who squandered all the gifts I gave in this mass suicide
Run through the dying forest and you will find
The usurper who wants all bodies and minds
As the seasons change
We reach the final hour
The world is mine to save
Or to devour because

I am the Grand Elder
Ruler of all that is green
I am the grand Elder
Nothing survives without me
I am the Grand Elder
Ruler of all that is green
I am the Grand Elder
Nothing survives without me

The prince takes what he wants
As society unfurls

If you could ease my mind (I'm terrified)
Never read my mind (fucking terrorised)
Hell is what you'll find

You can't have inner peace
Ignoring the bodies lining the streets
Oh so unique
How special you'll be when you're swallowed
When you're swallowed
By her and me

Cover with earth
The roots of our cult
Cover with earth
The roots of our cult

The roots of our cult
The roots of our cult
The roots of our cult
The roots of your
The roots of mine
The roots of your fucking cult
