The Tree

2: 1   Awakened from sleep, Dark and cold,

Strange-pitched voices,

remnants of something old,

2: 2  The tree stands twisted and creased, 

The cage at its base, 

Many strange feelings,

Sickness born of this place, 

2: 3  Dream of death by fire,

Acts of shame and despair, 

All the tree-inspired, 

2: 4  Now just memories, Feelings from long ago, 

Legacy of the tree,

I have come to know
