lyrics

Churning mud and rustling leaves
Rotting to dust beneath the mother trees
Pale fists punch through it all
Woken now by daylight's call

Watch towers with sporeheads
Messages sent to the underspreads
Pulse and rhythm and energy
Passing them on from tree to tree

Messages, messages...

And the trees thrive
Underground lines keep their spirits alive
Station to station, track to track
Burrowing down through the earthen cracks

Messages, messages...

Woodwide web, silent threads beneath the roots
Oh nothing's dead, it all feeds into nature's melting pot.

Every hour of every day
Mycelium brings and takes away
Year on year, the push and pull
Physical and chemical

Wisdom shines in many ways
Often beyond the human gaze
Sharing knowledge, linking fates
Trees transmit and co-operate

Messages, messages...

Woodwide web, silent threads beneath the roots
Oh nothing's dead, it all feeds into nature's melting pot.
Woodwide web, silent threads beneath the roots
Oh nothing's dead, it all feeds into nature's melting pot.
