← The Thoughts and Ramblings of One Emeric Proud
Forest of Dreams
Emeric's journal from inside the Shadow Weald: glowing trees full of eyes, three days of nightmares, and a vow to burn it all if he got out. Funny thing is, it's the same forest my centaur Jaro called home, and he loved it there. One man's nightmare is another centaur's paradise.
Alien and glorious
The Shadow Weald arcs over us
From the gateway all the trees
Glow with light so I can see
Where's the path gone can't go back
Wander aimless lost the track
Can't fall asleep here all alone
For my trespass I'll atone
Three more days
Three more nightmares
Three more places to wake up
This is psychological warfare
This forest won't break me
I will break you
Strip away the lidless eyes
Longing for a glimpse of sky
Coming here to see the strange
Wishing now that choice had changed
Wake up in another place
Something sniffing at my face
See through fox with vacant stare
Trees are watching everywhere
Three more days
Three more nightmares
Three more places to wake up
This is psychological warfare
This forest won't break me
I will break you
Eyes of blue purple and green
I can't hide I'm always seen
Naught to eat the water's strange
Escape may be out of my range
Don't give up my destiny
Hiding in the mud and leaves
Tentacled jackrabbit comes
Jump out now and swing the club
The trees oh gods the trees
Stares so full of loss and rage
Hells with you all and this cage
I'm not going down without a fight
Three more days
Three more nightmares
Three more places to wake up
This is psychological warfare
This forest won't break me
I will break you
From the shadows awful beast
All eyes and sinew strengthened teeth
Turn its strength back on itself
Took the hit there goes my health
I write this now to who may find
This journal that I'll leave behind
Stake the heart of this foul wood
Machinations nothing good
Three more days
Three more nightmares
Three more places to wake up
This is psychological warfare
This forest won't break me
I will break you
I awaken in a bed
Wounds all dressed and lightly fed
Isilme my savior love
Worshipping what I dream of
If I get out of here alive
I'll burn it all
Just burn it all
Freaks and monsters
All the eyes
Just burn it all
If I get out of here alive
I'll burn it all
Just burn it all
Freaks and monsters
All the eyes
Just burn it all
