The shambling mound, a mortal form assumed
Emerges form the mire in which was consumed
A man, a mind, the moss and loam it taught
Inspiring vegetal consciousness and thought
[CHORUS]
Alone, he's yearning for love
And self-discovery
He's teaching humanity
Of Earth, and the web of life
He's natures duality
Elementally
[CHORUS]
The force of nature bound in an Earth Elemental

A man no longer, with power exponential
A curse upon the virus of this planet
Dying to show man the value of the plant
And when they refuse to see
He levels all their cities
Darkly, his green mind considers
Extinction
However, he knows when to stop
How unlike a man
His voyages take him far
Out into the aether
He learns secrets cabalistic in content
But longs to return to the green
Struggling to solve dichotomy within
Flesh tries to speak, wood simply listens
The sound of the end looming on the horizon
An event of which he tries to make us wiser
