lyrics

There was once a golden forest, with secrets only known,
to our three boys brave as could be, that reached it’s inner sea
From one afternoon of duties, the decision came to me,
to venture of the beaten path, where mother said to be
How her words did haunt us when all green turned to black,
the treetops sound their warning out: Passed here no turning back!
For this forest you may leave, a simple quest for thee:
Dive into the midnight sea, and find our golden key
If we do, we trust you’ll help us to make our way back home,
before morning breaks and mother wakes we had better sleep
Sure thing said the sneeky trees, laughing amongst themselves,
Did their mother ever say: You cannot trust a tree?
So long to your flesh and bone, the key is out on loan
Home, Home, make yourselves at home in this golden dome
Still we’re trees, the sandman grieves, this dream will never leaf

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper
