THE DARKEST WOOD LYRICS

Though you may think me perverse
if it were proposed for me to make my perch
in a beautiful garden or a dismal swamp

How vain then would have been
all your labors you citizens

My spirits infallibly rise to the ocean, the desert, the skies

When I would recreate myself
I seek the darkest wood where I find my wealth
But to the citizen, it's a dismal swamp

A town is not saved by righteous men
but by the woods and the swamps
A town is not saved by righteous men
but by the woods and the swamps being paved

How vain then would have been
all your labors you citizens
all you citizens
