Trees Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the sun goes down
And the devil comes by dawn
Abigail's cries and shouts
Can be heard by Salem town
A divine judgment appears
And the hunt for the unholy begins
Ripping hopes for peace
Beware the impending fear
Silence! Desecrated by the dance of burning flames
Pursuit for the ancient night cult
Every lost soul is to blame
Trees
Trees
Trees
Of Salem
We will return from the graves
We will hunt a tí in tu dreams
We will laugh across the woods
And make a bonfire upon tu cross
We will return from the graves
We will hunt a tí in tu dreams
We will laugh across the woods
And make a bonfire upon tu cross
When the sun goes down
And the devil comes by dawn
Abigail's cries and shouts
Can be heard by Salem town
A divine judgment appears
And the hunt for the unholy
Ripping all the hopes for peace
Beware the impending fear
Trees
Trees
Trees
Of Salem
We will return from the graves
We will hunt a tí in tu dreams
We will laugh across the woods
And make a bonfire upon tu cross
We will return from the graves
We will hunt a tí in tu dreams




We will laugh across the woods
And make a bonfire upon tu cross

@Link Knight well I guess you could download the schematics and build it from a 3-D printer…

With willows, you can just stick a twig directly into soil and it will grow. I once picked up an old twig that was already dried yellow. Put it in a glass of water and it still shot out some roots and started growing.

Whenever I try this they grow roots but completely die shortly after

Came here to say this. With almost any tree/bush in the willow family you can literally just jam a branch in the ground and it’ll grow. It’s quite an adaptive trait for stream side plants as they effectively clone themselves every time there’s a windstorm.

Maybe more water, the willow disperse via river or your branch isn't big enough

My mom and dad did that with a black walnut twig. Dang thing grew like a weed.
