The haunted wood
From the haunted woods
Built the haunted house
In my neighborhood

A chant, a pact, it sealed them together
A dozen nooses expertly measured
Choosing death along blessed boughs
Never kneeling to Christian crowns

Praying peasants let the grove alone
Lands unlit, uncut, unsown
Wretched roots, overgrown

Superstitious preservation lasts
Cleared for neither house nor mast
Souls on wind and silence repast
As man consumes resources vast
Oh they take!

Architectural beauty, constructional greed
Chainsaws, log loaders, legal deeds
Boards and frames, ghosts in the grain
Nailing, drilling, blueprinting pain

For sale, for sale, children wail
Again and again families fail

Oh, they should have grown forever…

Vacant, black
Openly occupied
Poltergeists lived and dreams
Dreams they died

Twelve at home behind sheetrock wall
Immortal presence in every room
In every closet and hall

They must grow again!
