Into the Woods

Into the woods crawled the brave wise men
Where the cannons boomed again and again
Screams and shouts as the shots did fly
And the trees thought they would die

Out of the woods crawled the brave wise men
Out of a thousand remained just ten
A lifetime seemed to have passed them by
And the trees they began to cry

Into the woods
