The gardens gently whisper Seem to call your name In sun the foliage glimmers In rain it seems more sane Nature seems to speak (Jeg elsker deg) And in darkness the trees oppress you
You fall on your face As you try to race away From the breathing forest itself
*Blad Voldtekt Innom måneskinn morra Og desto kveld Å løp, eller trette Eller tape seg innom Beskaffenhet dyrisk omspenne Inntil først lyse?
In morning, in dawn Natures long gone But not at all For all around you Are her signs Her moans and her whines Her image, her scent All a gentle reminder Of a sadistic trees molest
The trees seem to snicker As you crawl to find The way you came And the trees all dance Around you as the Wind bites at your frame
More! And More! You feel like a whore! Less! And Less! Human I guess...
The trees, the plants Tear apart your pants Tear apart your life As if a rusty knife were Cutting out your heart
Repeat * x 3 + interlude and fade
-----------------------------Translation Notes---------------------------------------
Translations from Norwegian are as follows:
Jeg Elsker Deg means "I love you", and is whispered in the background.
The "chorus" translates as such:
"Leaf Rape In moonlights morning And the noon of night To run, or fight Or lose yourself in Natures brutal embrace Until first light?"
-----------------------------Other Notes-----------------------------------------
I could have gone two ways with the title "Leaf Rape." I could have gone with an environmental message, which though I support does not go well with the kind of music I have in mind for this, and then there was this... The forest raping an innocent traveler. I like this much better.
I will, when I have the music tweaked to something acceptable, post the music here... Not with the lyrics, not at first. I don't trust my voice for the singing enough to actually sing on it just yet. But yeah... This is a running project.
