Deep in the woods I run I'm on the run because I can't love anyone I've got a black hole where my heart should beat Cause I was born inside a hollow tree
Deep in the woods I hide The winds of war outside I just cannot abide The birds they bring me stories from the East The men are running down to kill the beast
I'm afraid of them / Fool they see, they follow They say I'm the beast but / Prey they see, they swallow I'm afraid of them / But I can't pretend I'm not ready for war I'm afraid of them / Fool they see, they follow They say I'm the beast but / Prey they see, they swallow I'm afraid of them / But I can't pretend I'm not ready for war
So through the woods I ran My life was over even before it began They made me swallow seven roses' thorns To make me feel the pain their hearts had felt before
