Reclaim will once again the Earth

Bounties which once bejeweled the land

‘Fore children of man had trampled on dirt

Turned grass to ash and soil to sand

The elder tree shakes with grief

Firms a resolve to undo man

Roots dig through dirt to spread mischief

Carefully, he lays out his plan

Screams rip through towns all around

Beasts stay still yet all men flee

Roots break through from under the ground

Strangling men in a killing spree

One root pierces through the heart

Another one drains man of blood

A third root rips the flesh apart

Til nothing but bones lie in the mud

Reclaimed has once again the Earth

Bountiful nature from man’s evil spell

Green lands spread and Nature gives birth

To more life that sustains all well
