The Wilderness Songtext
von Ola Salo

The wilderness is closing in
beneath our fences, 'neath our skin
The wilderness is closing in
It's tentacles are reaching in
It's sweaping like an ancient wind
With horny moans it softly sings
And pollinating mutant kin
It's grasp around us tightening tonight

And there were five of us this morn'
I don't know if we'll last til dawn
how could it ever go so wrong?


It's been comming
It's been comming for so long
While the wilderness was comming on strong
It's been comming
It's been comming for so long
And we all know we've been sitting
on a timebomb
But there's no time to go on
About who's been right and who's been wrong
Just collect your valuables
And meet me on the highest prong

The wilderness is closing in
beneath our fences, 'neath our skin
it's drilling underneath our feet
it's growing faster as we speak
And some of us inside our fort
Are plagued with scabs and crouched by gout
their backbones twirl with scoliosis
Assuming wild and wretched poses tonight

The wilderness is everywhere
We're wrinkled and we lose our hair
It's already inside, I fear


It's been comming
It's been comming for so long
While the wilderness was comming on strong
It's been comming
It's been comming for so long
And we all know we've been sitting
on a timebomb
But there's no time to go on
About who's been right and who's been wrong
Just collect your valuables
And meet me on the highest prong
