Wild Child

[Dialogue] [Spoken Word] "Your children have planted one of the apples. Which has grown into a tree." "And how did they get it?" "They have skills of deception. They also possess the power of illusion. They used these to bypass the safeguards." "How could the tree have grown so quickly?" "The land that they chose is loose in time. We will seek information about that. Right now The tree must be dealt with." "Will the children be spared?" "Since they never shared, the mark against them is lighter. If you choose, they could be spared. But you must first destroy the tree." [verse1] He came down from the sky Feathers on his sandals flapping He landed on the pristine land He was surprised it was only a sapling [verse2] Where was the great tree That has caused the conflagration Then he remembered the land drifted in time He moved it forward with determination [Bridge] Now in front of the tree No fruit did it bear His timing couldn't be better He would end it there [Chorus] The tree had been ripe The land became green The essence of immortality Sitting peacefully in the scene He then summoned an axe Then he struck his blow The tree sheered off its trunk Crashing down below [verse3] It cried out in pain It was still alive It's power transmuted Determined to survive [verse4] He then heard it's name This had become unfair He wasn't a murderer at heart He decided to make it clear [Bridge] He transform the tree Into the form of a child A youngling of 12 years He was completely Wild [Chorus] The tree had been ripe The land became green The essence of immortality Sitting peacefully in the scene The child took his form A Father he might be But he would never claim a child That had once been a tree [verse5] He did not leave it dead But he left it undone No fruit could it bear Not even one [verse6] The child became hungry He eventually found food His survival in the wild Had attributed to his mood [Bridge] Along came another Whose job was more severe He would end the aberration And leave the land clear [Chorus] The tree had been ripe The land became green The essence of immortality Sitting peacefully in the scene The child had been surviving While being completely alone It was still part of the stump But it would no longer grow [verse7] The child's delight Enchanted this man He would not completely end him Instead he would start him again [verse8] He went to his daughter Who lived on the lake Out beyond the boundaries This gift she would take [verse9] He brought her the child He then put it inside She would bear him as a human And he would survive [Bridge] No longer in their sight His job seem complete He stayed with his daughter His new grandson he would meet [Chorus] The tree had been ripe The land became green The essence of immortality Sitting peacefully in the scene He couldn't claim the child It wasn't truly his own But love from his daughter He would never be disowned [Outro] He shared in his life While this child grew Taking on a new wife He had become renewed His family then became Whole and complete With a son and a new daughter He thought he was discreet They had warned him before Not to make a new child And when they caught up to him He had gone wild His daughter removed While the son remained His wife lost her will to live She was no longer sane Her own life she took Which then broke his heart He stayed for the boy But eventually he would part The daughter now gone But not completely lost They took her up into the clouds Her power they sought
