lyrics

The trees are coming
Hear their root-steps thrumming
Through the earth below
Rhythmless and slow
The trees are coming.
With no smile or frown
They will tear it down
This world we built
Is shifting silt
Is fertile ground.
The trees are coming
The trees are coming
The final victory of the trees.

The trees are coming
Hear their branches drumming
On our tiles and glass
All these things shall pass
Now the trees are coming.
They’ll infest our houses
Like immense green mouses
Through the garden gate
They’ll parade in state
With their kids and spouses.
The trees are coming
The trees are coming
The final victory of the trees.

I know that some have planted
Treason shrubs among us
Vegetable fifth-columnists
They won’t be spared,
There’s no appeasing
Shrubs aren’t honest.
Though it be futile, let’s resist.
We won’t be missed.

The trees are coming
Hear their twig hands strumming
On restraining wire
With a mute, green ire
The trees are coming.
Though they cannot see us
When our short lives flee us
All our flesh and bone
They shall make their own
Till as leaves they free us.
The trees are coming
The trees are coming
The final victory of the trees.
