The Dead Tree
Soulspell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I sensed you coming my way
Time is running out
Just trust my wisdom and what i say
THE HOLY DEAD TREE • RIPPER
Depth is the key
Lower you go less you will be
Your faith clouds what you believe
SOLO - LAMBERT
THE HOLY DEAD TREE • RIPPER
You must evolve to reach your past
Looking forward you're going back
Your future lies in azkaban
But you don't need a magic wand
Just let my words touch your sins
Your best friend is your enemy
Where despair takes your sight and hearing
Sun reflects the truth
That is beneath you
THE HOLY DEAD TREE • RIPPER
You'll have the choice
Free will locks it all up
You must leave now
All kindness is rotten
TIMO'S MYSTICAL BODY • CAMPOS
You must evolve to reach your past
Looking forward you're going back
Your future lies in azkaban
But you don't need a magic wand
Just let my words touch your sins
Your best friend is your enemy
Where despair takes your sight and hearing
Sun reflects the truth
That is beneath you
SOLO - AMENDOLA
JUDITH - MUNHOZ
Now you have
The enchanted words
The holy dead tree is gone
You're once again on your own
When you enter the gates
You won't be the same
Very close to your heart
Dark feelings to tame
Hollow awaits
TIMO'S MYSTICAL BODY • CAMPOS
You leave me in shadows but
My weakness is my strength
Birds ate the only crumbs
Of hope from my way
THE HOLY DEAD TREE • RIPPER
TIMO'S MYSTICAL BODY • CAMPOS
You must evolve to reach your past
Looking forward you're going back
Your future lies in azkaban
But you don't need a magic wand
Just let my words touch your sins
Your best friend is your enemy
Where despair takes your sight and hearing
Sun reflects the truth
That is beneath you
The song “The Dead Tree” by Soulspell is about the journey of self-discovery and spirituality. The lyrics consist of a conversation between different characters that represent different aspects of the self. The song starts with a warning from one character to the other to trust their wisdom and what they say as time is running out. The next character, the Holy Dead Tree, talks about the importance of going deeper within oneself to understand the infinite nature of the universe. The character also cautions against being clouded by faith and beliefs that limit understanding.
The song then moves onto the idea of evolving to reach one's past and future, with the Holy Dead Tree telling the other character to let their words touch their sins and understand that their best friend can also be their enemy. The character also talks about how despair can take away sight and hearing, and that the sun reflects the truth beneath them. The song highlights the importance of free will and leaving all kindness behind to grow and evolve.
The song concludes with the character Judith telling the other character that they have the enchanted words to free themselves from the limitations of the Holy Dead Tree. The final verses consist of the characters reminding the listener to evolve to reach their past and future, look forward, let their words touch their sins, and understand that their best friend and enemy can be the same.

I sensed you coming my way
I knew you were coming towards me
Time is running out
We don't have much time left
Just trust my wisdom and what i say
Believe in my knowledge and listen to my words
Depth is the key
Going deeper is important
Lower you go less you will be
The more you go down, the less you'll have
Infinity
Endlessness
Your faith clouds what you believe
Your trust in things prevents you from seeing the truth
You must evolve to reach your past
In order to understand your past, you need to change and develop
Looking forward you're going back
Trying to move ahead can sometimes take you backwards
Your future lies in azkaban
Your destiny is tied to a dark place
But you don't need a magic wand
You don't need a magical solution
Just let my words touch your sins
Listen to what I'm saying and it will affect your mistakes
Your best friend is your enemy
The one you consider close can also turn out to be your opponent
Where despair takes your sight and hearing
When you're hopeless, you can't see or hear clearly
Sun reflects the truth
The sunlight shows the reality
That is beneath you
That is hidden or obscured from you
You'll have the choice
You will have the option
Free will locks it all up
Your freedom of choice can make things complicated
You must leave now
You need to go away
All kindness is rotten
Even the good intentions can't be trusted
Now you have
You possess
The enchanted words
The magic words
The holy dead tree is gone
The revered dead tree is no more
You're once again on your own
You're independent once more
When you enter the gates
When you go through the entrance
You won't be the same
You will change
Very close to your heart
Very personal and emotional
Dark feelings to tame
Negative emotions to control
Hollow awaits
Emptiness is waiting
You leave me in shadows but
You abandon me in the dark, however
My weakness is my strength
My flaws can become advantages
Birds ate the only crumbs
The birds consumed the last bits
Of hope from my way
Of the possibility of hope in my path

I just planted about 2000 trees earlier this month & my wish is them all to survive without dying prematurely.
P.S. Great song as always.
