Cynical judgement lead the way 

to the ever growing fields of gold 

The table set for fast decay 

younger men erase the old 



Sullen glances paint their time 

on walls of disbelief 

Expansion, growth, the biggest crime 

to pick a budding leaf 



The woods are draped in white this year 

and those who pay will have their share 

The children drowning in their fear 

to pick a budding leaf 



The fields are full, the market eager 

Forever fertile is the soil 

Above the ground one life is meagre 

Forever traded dust for toil 



The woods are draped in white this year 

and those who pay will have their share 

The children drowning in their fear 

to pick a budding leaf
