[Instrumental] [Intro] [rhythmic acoustic guitar strumming, staccato violin melody] [Section A] [bass guitar enters, sustained string pads] [violin plays melodic lead with vibrato] [Section B] [increased intensity, rapid violin arpeggios] [acoustic guitar continues driving sixteenth-note pattern] [Outro] [violin returns to staccato rhythmic motif] [final acoustic guitar chord rings out] [Intro] Yeah… Leaves whisper, but they don’t pray no more… Wind howl different when your soul ain’t pure… Shiftry… ⸻ [Intro] Yeah… Leaves whisper, but they don’t pray no more… Wind howl different when your soul ain’t pure… Shiftry… ⸻ [Hook] I used to be feared as a forest guardian… Now I’m feared for a whole lot more… Grass/Dark soul, yeah the roots went rotten… Now the wind kick dust when I settle the score… I used to be feared as a forest guardian… Now I’m feared for a whole lot more… Petals fall when I pass through silent… Ain’t no peace in my forest no more… ⸻ [Verse 1] Born where the canopy covered the sky Leaves in my hands, spirits would guide Grass type roots, I was one with the life Till the darkness crept in—survive or die Told “guard the grove,” but I broke that code Dark in my chest, feel the cold wind blow Now I cut through foes when the storm get loud Forest go silent when I come around ⸻ [Hook] I used to be feared as a forest guardian… Now I’m feared for a whole lot more… Grass/Dark soul, yeah the roots went rotten… Now the wind kick dust when I settle the score… ⸻ [Verse 2] Then I saw her standin’ in beams of light Tsareena grace, yeah she changed my sight Said I ain’t gone, just lost my way Had me almost drop all the hate that day Tried to be calm, tried to let it go But the dark run deep and it always show Saw fear in her eyes when I lost control Knew right then I lost my soul ⸻ [Hook] I used to be feared as a forest guardian… Now I’m feared for a whole lot more… Grass/Dark soul, yeah the roots went rotten… Now the wind kick dust when I settle the score… ⸻ [Verse 3] Now I roam where the dry winds scream Desert bandit with a heart half clean Joined a crew called “The Desert Winds” Now the storms I ride got a name and a team Leaves turned dust, ain’t no shade for me Just a trail of ghosts where my past used to be She don’t look back, won’t say my name Royal queen don’t walk with pain Tried to reach out but it ain’t the same Guess a darkened soul can’t outrun shame Every gust carry words I said Every fight just replay in my head Half of me wish I could start again Other half just want revenge instead ⸻ [Outro] Yeah… Wind still blow… but it don’t feel right… Forest gone… love gone… light gone… I used to guard life… now I take it… And I don’t know which part of me hate it more…
