The Wild Woods Are Weird

I left the Wood in a state of disarray
I passed through Salton City
Like a gamma ray
A radioactive remnant
Running free
I crashed like a lightning bolt
Into the sea

And the dragon in me
Screams in agony
At the thought of what
Could have been
Ah, the hell with it
You win

Tormented by flames of desire
I roamed the countryside
Like a forest fire
I strolled along
The golden city walls
For whose sake am I compelled to mimic
These depraved and craven animals?

Here she comes again
Drinking blood and gin
She's even better than I feared
The wild woods are weird

We'll be surrounded by all the things we love
When we get to default
Heaven above
We will never die or grow old
Our hatred
Will be plated with gold

We'll carry the weight of our own wit
On shoulders of shit
When we get
To the end...
