Allure Of The Earth — Woods Of Ypres

The sun taunts you In everything you do Like a substance that works for everyone else But has no effect on you

It shines for places You'll never go It shines for people You'll never know

You believe that in your entire life You will never feel What it's like

So you turn away Dream about an escape A hole in the earth deep and cool That you could climb down into

I despise the rising Of the upsetting sun I'll hide away Until the day is done

I'll exclude myself A few months of every year To avoid the drama Of the sun, sweat and tears

You could fall away And no one would know Release the tension of holding on Feel the high of letting go

So you turn away Elude the pressures of the sun Go find your place in the shade Far away from everyone

It's so easy to get your fill When the engine turns and pushes in the dirt It's so easy to be satisfied When all you want to do is lay down and die

The Allure of the Earth Those dreams can come true When you make a deal with the earth Who says... "Here's what I can do for you..."

The Allure of the Earth When you are through with trying When you are tired and days are long Letting go seems so inviting

The Allure of the Earth The desire to give up It is the encouragement When you are discouraged

The Allure of the Earth When the urges aren't worth fighting The temptations on the great beyond Become so exciting
