Bjørkø: The Heartroot Rots (Music: Tomi Koivusaari / Lyrics: Jussi Ahlroth)

Deep goes the root of roots, the heartroot that feeds
A sickness brews in the roots, a fester eats the heart
Tainted soil ferments with lies, turns the earth sour
Like a fungus grows a doubt, and the rot sets in

The heartroot rots
All grows corrupt The heartroot rots
All trust is lost

The root of the matter, is the root of the mind
The heart gives life to all, takes root in the earth Water stinks with fear, foul, it flows and stirs
Suspicion breeds infection, and the rot sets in

The heartroot rots
All grows corrupt The heartroot rots
All trust is lost

Phytophtoran putrefaction
Sulphurous suppuration
Necrotrophic consumption
Allelopathic inflection
Rhizospheric ruination Analethic fabrication
Mycorrhizaic deconstruction
Verbicidal vindication

I tore up the roots, with bleeding bare hands The fetid and corrupted heart, I ripped it apart To
kill the corruption, I killed all that lived
The world is now rootless, barren and alone
From rot all that grows, turns to rot
Of rot all that can be said, turns to rot
Silence, all rotten
