.# FOREST OF THE FALLEN [Intro] [Fingerpicked acoustic guitar] [Verse] Smoke crawl low through di broken trees Iron storm tear di sky apart Inna di whisper of di dying leaves Mi hear di beat of a soldier heart Dem bodies fall like autumn leaves Winter wind carry dem away Bones break down like branches Under di weight of war today [Chorus] [Gentle, soulful crooning] Back to di earth dem go Dem stories buried underground Cold like di war dat made dem Cold like di silence all around Brothers nobody remember Dem names lost inna di frost Inna di forest of di fallen Every branch remember loss [Instrumental] [Brief clean electric-guitar response] [Verse] Mothers wait beside di window For di footsteps dat never come Letters lie beneath di table Every word still left undone No crown resting pon dem head No glory waiting inna di ground Only roots around dem bones And di wind di only sound [Chorus] [Warm, restrained crooning] Back to di earth dem go Dem stories buried underground Cold like di war dat made dem Cold like di silence all around Brothers nobody remember Dem names lost inna di frost Inna di forest of di fallen Every branch remember loss [Bridge] [Acoustic guitar continues alone] When di spring come back again Green leaves cover every scar But di earth remember everything Even when di people gone too far [Final Chorus] [Quiet bass returns, intimate sustained notes] Back to di earth dem go Dem stories buried underground Cold like di war dat made dem Cold like di silence all around Brothers nobody remember Dem names lost inna di frost Inna di forest of di fallen Every branch remember loss [Outro] [Acoustic guitar, single distant electric note] Di world move on. Di forest stay. Every branch remember. [Final acoustic chord] [End] [Bridge] [Acoustic guitar continues alone] When di spring come back again Green leaves cover every scar But di earth remember everything Even when di people gone too far [Final Chorus] [Quiet bass returns, intimate sustained notes] Back to di earth dem go Dem stories buried underground Cold like di war dat made dem Cold like di silence all around Brothers nobody remember Dem names lost inna di frost Inna di forest of di fallen Every branch remember loss [Outro] [Acoustic guitar, single distant electric note] Di world move on. Di forest stay. Every branch remember. [Final acoustic chord] [End]
