Crown of the Carolinas - Voicless Forest

Voicless Forest

Voiceless Forest

This song was inspired by the painting, "Voiceless Forest" by Alexandra Nechita, who had this to say about her painting:
"A wet, narrow trail took me to a place under a massive umbrella of green leaves. I stopped, closed my eyes and wrapped myself in the green forest splendor. But, once vigorous and majestic, these trees were brought to the ground, defeated and lifeless. Robbed, betrayed and used, the forest sobbed and grieved, wondering why she couldn't be heard by the hopeless, docile collection she once sheltered. Along the trail, her multi-layered cathedral of trees were laying burdensome and enduring, determined that she would no longer be who she once was - a Voiceless Forest."

Voiceless Forest

Voiceless forest
Shelter of life
Endless cycles
Of take & giving back

In the voiceless forest
Towering tall
The silent giants
Hardly make a sound at all.

From the mossy earth
To the canopy of leaves
Green life gives us
The air we breathe

In the voiceless forest
Perfectly clear
Are whispers of my heart
I can finally hear

Longing to find peace of mind
Many come this way
Houses & highways creep like kudzu
Closer each day

& in the voiceless forest
Towering tall
The silent giants
Can't make a sound at all.
Until they fall
