High Wood
Chill, break of day, a light frost thawing, Sun, pale and grey, a spectral morning,
Tractors crawl, horsepower straining, carve the earth the ploughshares turning The sod that hides where dead men lie, the lost and fallen of wars gone by,
Gathering the iron harvest reminders of their bloody madness Whose bones in furrows sometimes rise to plead to be identified.
To join the ranks of comrade soldiers buried beneath the bleached white crosses Names and numbers cut in stone, the regiment they called their home, The age they reached the day they died, their memory is all that does survive In tended graves they rest in peace their battle finally over
The rolling trembling thunder rides the ridge of Bazentin Detonations scatter clouds of crows The tree line offers refuge to the wide eyed startled deer Launch, plunging through the bracken they head into the shadows of the High Wood
The oaks majestic standing proud and tall Holding their position on a landscape lost in time Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The roots dug in the sore contested ground The gnarled and twisted timbers betray the battle scars of yore
The wood will rise, the wood will fall, the circle is unbroken, the wounds will heal in rings of time, The circle is unbroken
Half buried in the forest floor decay Broken rusting weaponry beneath the fallen leaves The shells that failed still hold their deadly load Dormant in the undergrowth their promise only stalled
The wood will rise, the wood will fall, the circle is unbroken, the wounds will heal in rings of time, The circle is unbroken The wood will rise, the wood will fall, the circle is unbroken, the wounds will heal in rings of time, The circle is unbroken
In the darkness of the High Wood it's so dense I can hardly breathe, a stark and muffled silence I stand alone amongst the trees. Are they ghosts or moving shadows, are they spirits gone before? Are these the restless souls still wandering, the ones that were forsaken in the High Wood.
