Coven in the forest
of ancient malevolence
Feast hidden beneath
gnarly old trees
Altar made by beings
older than the human race
Huge monolith hums
The first ritual echoes still
Come brothers,
she is here
Bound upon the altar
And we are
bound to her
A willing sacrifice to the night
Clad in darkness
and doom
Possessed by
the Goddessess
Seducing sounds
turn to screams
When fluids mix
among the roots
Trees now bloom with bitter fruit
the harvest time is here
Souls are bound together,
black vomit stains the robes
The cult is everlasting
Coven cannot be broken
The roots get ever-thicker
The strength of the Forest Grows
The sickening shadows
expand from the corpus
of the primal forest
that now screams and growls
The nature starts to claim
the lives of the apostates
Those who have forgotten
the might of the Primeval Forest
Trees now bloom with bitter fruit
the harvest time is here
Souls are bound together,
black vomit stains the robes
The cult is everlasting
Coven cannot be broken
The roots get ever-thicker
The strength of the Forest Grows
Oh, divine mother,
let there be harmony again
when the only purpose
of the human race
is to rot and feed the forest,
like how it was meant to be
