Description
"Life is a cycle, and Cedar ensures that it stays so. Though the Goddess of Rebirth had long since abandoned them, leaving Cedar to manage the afterlife on his own, he still managed. Without the goddess, parasitic forces had crept into the afterlife and plunged it into darkness, but Cedar refused to give up. He continued to feed the souls of the dead to the forest, providing it with just enough energy to continue reincarnating souls. Fern is a bizarre spirit. She’s the only spirit Cedar has ever met who retains a humanoid form, even in death. Something about her seems painfully familiar, too, but he can’t quite place why until it is far too late. [Part 1/?]" |

Lyrics
When the night falls,
I wake to start my job
With my shovel and my
lantern I look for bodies
Searching for souls in the lividiy
Then burying the corpse to feed the forest as it rots
Today I found a soul different from the rest
A girl with an innate connection to heaven and earth
Even in death she's riddled with unrest
And I'm taken aback by how brightly her soul burns
"Hello sir, my name is Fern. I am from Middle Earth.
I don't know where I am
Please sir, help me if you can."
Her arms sway in the breeze
Carefully, gently,
I take her by the hand
And tell her what I can
Come along, Fern, the night will treat you well
The trees are calling, their cries an eerie chill
Death is long, but the afterlife's longer
And if you leave, then you will forever wander
When the night falls,
I wake to start my job
With my shovel and my
lantern I look for bodies
As of recent I'm no longer alone
The bizzare spirit Fern likes to search for them with me
Today, Fern says she has something to tell me
The world's in danger and she was sent here to protect me
I don't know why but I choose to believe
I get my spirits up and let myself be naive
"Hello, sir, for what it's worth
My name's not really Fern
I had to lie to you
For you would hate the truth"
Her eyes are watering
Faltering, altering
All she can do is cry
Looking up at the sky
God, I hate you, I can't believe it's true
I'm crying out, "Oh, I can't believe it's you"
You're the reason the forest runs dark now
You're nothing to me and I'll tell you why, oh
One thousand years you left us to decay
And then you come back
by donning a new name
Death is long but your damage lasts longer
I trusted you and now
I don't know what to do
