One day I'll go to my house in the woods To the ferns, and the trees, and the laughing spirits I will dive into the deep green sea without coming back Let my roots and my beard grow With black cats all over me With black cats all over me And I will take you there Carving your name into my hand and my heart I will share with you my secrets in the dark And love you always With white owls all over us With white owls all over us And we will live there forever And we'll die in an instant Dissolving into the turf Our roots growing deep With black snakes all around With black snakes all around With black cats all over me With white owls all over us With black snakes all around

She walked down the Pine Rd. at six She looked as she's missed something or someone As she passed the barn, I gazed At the devilish way those gold locks were made She entered the woods from the side, Left the old crib behind, and gone out of sight She never made it back home, We knew all along that there's something wrong. The heart of the woods was so dense, I used my sixth sense to get through the trees She stood at the edge of the woods, She did all she could, but she lost her strength As the sun plunged down from the cliff, Her body got stiff, and her eyes petrified She never made it back home, We knew all along that there's something wrong.

about

Dismal Beeches' debut album Into the Woods, which can be roughly categorized as a crossbred offspring of dark wave and dream folk, is a mystic journey in the depths of the Forest told through different stories. We start off at a recluse’s retreat in the woods, then proceed through an enchanted woodland, as twilight shadows lurk behind the trees, stop by a rural asylum to hear a dreary tale of a beggar, and finally step into the heart of the black forest to meet the spirits of old. To find your way out, follow the rising moon.
