This track is about becoming one with the demons in the Forest of Despair... "your own mind".
lyrics
It took me twelve years just to get to where I am in this forest, of despair all I smell is all the bodies burning in the air, never thought this would be the way, I’d say goodbye, but now it’s time to lay my body down to die.
And just when I thought it was over, I heard em cry…
Welcome, welcome to the forest… welcome to the forest of despair. Welcome, to the forest of despair.
Wisdom, I just couldn’t stop, Self-Knowledge, was never enough, Respect, I just couldn’t stop.
The fire will burn down, these tree tops to the ground, or I’ll cut my own throat.
This is just my disease. I’ve spent a few years now in this forest of despair, been a couple close calls where I’ve almost fallen into the fire below.
And just when I thought it was over, I heard em cry…
Welcome, welcome to the forest… welcome to the forest of despair. Welcome, to the forest of despair.
We got to pull together if were ever gonna make it out alive. The truth is many of us don’t make it out of the forest of despair.
