[Intro — Sparse Piano, Angular Guitar] [Verse 1] Mr. Blackthorn, take a seat. There's something we should discuss. A fortune sleeping underneath The land you've learned to trust. You've measured every acre. You've priced out every tree. But there's a certain property Your surveys cannot see. [Pre-Chorus] Not gold, nor coal, nor precious stone. Something older, something rare. A door that leads beyond the known, And someone left it there. [Chorus] Beneath the pines, beneath the clay, A buried secret waits. And men like you were born to find The keys to hidden gates. Bring down the trees, uncover time. The future's yours to claim. Beneath the pines, beneath the pines, A fortune without name. [Verse 2] Of course, there are complications. A rather curious band. A tree who thinks himself a man And claims to guard this land. His lady knows a little more Than she would care to share. And six peculiar gentlemen Have made their home out there. [Pre-Chorus] They'll stand between you and the prize. They're stubborn, I confess. But surely one of your resources Can handle such a mess. [Chorus] Beneath the pines, beneath the clay, A buried secret waits. And men like you were born to find The keys to hidden gates. Bring down the trees, uncover time. The future's yours to claim. Beneath the pines, beneath the pines, A fortune without name. [Bridge — Precise, Interlocking Riffs] You have the land. You have the means. The men, the money, the machines. I'll offer knowledge. Nothing more. A simple key without a door. And should your venture come to grief, I wouldn't dare presume. But every seed beneath the earth Must find sufficient room. [Final Chorus — Dark, Expansive] Beneath the pines, beneath the clay, A buried secret waits. And men like you were born to find The keys to hidden gates. Bring down the trees, uncover time. The future's yours to claim. Beneath the pines, beneath the pines, A fortune without name. [Outro — Music Strips Back] A most agreeable arrangement. I wish you every success. And when you've found what lies below... I'll know where to look next.
