Heed my will!
It’s calling me to go
Up higher still!
I am carrying the embryo
Give in to me!
Now it steers my every move
Come set me free!
To where it wants to grow
Never have I been this thoroughly astray
There’s a voice inside I must obey
I am going up somehow
though I don’t know where and I don’t know why
But I know that there is no other way
Heed my will!
It’s calling me to go
Up higher still!
I am carrying the embryo
Give in to me!
Now it steers my every move
Come set me free!
To where it wants to grow
As I crumble and draw my last breath
from this painful strange world
I can see my death spawns a higher being
And it grants my life a meaning

I've stood through thunder
Whirlwinds and blistering rain
I've seen the forest become golden fire
My battle is won
My spores have been shed
And my work here is done
Like flowers shrivel
And the conifers bend to the wind
I must take retreat
Surrender this form
Let this flesh decay
But I am not this body
My true being is deep underground
As the earth commands
Winter rapes the land
And I rest..
Deep below new kings grow
We are but protractions
In this world to reproduce
And the purpose of our actions
Is beyond our own
Oh can you see
We're not what we seem
We are captives here
And death sets us free
Oh can you see
How this life is a dream
We are not our bodies
We are one, deep underground

The woods are quiet now
My heartbeat is the only sound
I've been running for hours on
I'm safe here and now but not for long
They think that I don't know
Blindly bolting through the snow
The fire shredding through the trees
Their thunderblasts are death aimed at me
Come the morning their dogs will be back
Soulless worms on legs
And in the second I halt they attack
I've seen the lust for blood
Burning in their piglet eyes
They crave my skin and they claim my crown
Tireless in their resolve to kill
I have become
A king on the run
A fugitive in my own domain
Deeper I go
Into the night
The last of my kind
I’m running for
My life and for my bloodline

Summer's dying early and the sun sets low
So the journey has begun
Our legs are getting heavy and our throats are dry
Still we must press on
Marching ten thousand strong in a line moving along
Up and down and around or any other way
The road is rough but no one walks alone
We're the tribe that stayed behind
We hold our ground
These stalwart souls don't fold
Won't yield to the dark and cold
Come rain and raging blizzards
Hell will wring us on the way
We've got the power to resist
And keep the storm at bay
We're the tribe that stayed behind..
The lone penguin stands no chance against this deadly weather
He will simply fade away into the whiteness all around him
He falls asleep and disappears
So huddle up and hold me near
There’s strength in our unity
This is how we survive
Yes only then can we endure
As one warming entity
Through love we stay alive
As the winter lingers
And the night is seemingly endless
Remember what you carry
Don't let it go
Keep awake now
Stay beside me
Don't disappear
We're born into a cruel world
Yet still we stand
Life will not be defeated
We're marching on
Together
