Woods of Ypres
Keeper of the Ledger
[Verse 1]
It is a fair and noble arrangement
This business of life and existence
Where everything we take from the earth
Will be taken back and returned
The face of God has always been disguised
As the mother, giver, and lover of all life
But the keeper of the ledger for the cult of nature
Only concerns that your body returns on time

[Chorus]
Return to the earth
Pay the price for your existence
Into the hand of Earth's domain
For there is balance to be maintained

[Verse 2]
The count is cold and calculated, the precision is exact
No one is exempt or unaccounted for
All that was taken will be taken back
The gods have always been believed to love
And care for the quality of our lives
But the keeper of the ledger for the cult of nature
Only concerns with the quantity of your time

[Chorus]
Return to the earth
Pay the price for your existence
Into the hand of Earth's domain
For there is balance to be maintained
Return to the earth
Pay the price for your existence
Back to the hand of Earth's domain
For there is balance to be maintained
