Murders

He was in the forest looking to see the trees
 But none were there
 He found a girl
 She found the Erlking (the lover)
 They were in the white wood
 Gamboling out to picnic
 In the light leaves broke above
 Then fell below
 I was in the middle ground
 Looking to find the flowers in the garden
 Wearying of the hate me, hate me not
 Wait. they forgot
 Woe, oh, the rot
 Deeper in they crept
 Oblivious of the bears and darker terrors
 Or none were there
 How did they dare?
 I was in the middle ground
 Looking to find the fountain of infinite mirror
 Tree falling, no one would hear
 Shadow of nobody there
 Murders of murderers living in fear of it
 ♪
 Owls on the night watch
 Solemn and easily wise to what we thought
 They thought above
 Sound broke below
 They were in the black wood
 Coveting indiscreetly her for him
 Or him for her
 Shown what they were
 I was in the middle ground
 Looking to find the fountain of infinite mirror
 Tree falling, no one would hear
 Shadow of nobody there
 Murders of murderers living in fear of it
 I was in the clearing
 Buzzing around to hearing
 But the bees and birds who knew the words
 Soon arrived the twilight
 Finally the night and day remembered
 How they came to be

 All for nothing at all
 
 All for nothing at all

 I was in the forest looking to see the trees
