Spirit of the Earth
Along the coasts and by the seas
There lived a man made of trees
His duty was of noble action
Protect the forest with great passion
His body was made of bark
Eyes so piercing and thoughts so dark
His realm of life was so sacred
But beings of flesh had invaded
Once so peaceful and now so angry
This guardian of life started to rampage
Killing men in their thousands
Disease and insects brought plague and famine
