Dead
A withered evergreen
A forest of chaos
The war it watched
A fiery clash of honor
A beautiful forest
Now black and red 
Bloodied by hate
A withered evergreen
Cloaked in fog
Awakens to dawn
A chorus swells
A wish of  strength
To once again rise
From the battered crust
To honor the forest
To repair the damage
To take back the hate
A dream of seeing
The lush green
To once again
Live
