Leshen

#doommetal #darkambient #horrorcore #dungeonsynth #gothicrock #slavicfolktrap Learned my lesson after writing Orsimer, so kept this one short and to the point. I love all things mythical, so it bothers me a lot that folks call the image of a Leshen a Wendigo. [Lyrics] [Verse 1] I am not your Wendigo, flesh-eater of the night I'm the guardian of the green, the keeper of the rite Antlers split the canopy, my bark-skin breaks the ground Vines like serpents coil and strike when trespassers come round Deer skull crowned in bone and hide, I'm terror in the trees I command the wolves, the crows—they answer only me [Pre-Chorus] Time has made me ancient, rage has made me strong I will shred the desecrators who've done my forest wrong [Chorus] I am Leshen, master of the wild I am Leshen, nature's burning child Respect the legends buried in the dark before Leshen, Leshen—I am the roar! [Verse 2] You cut down my cathedral at night, made the sacred ground a slave Left your marked ones in the villages, possessed them in their grave I can shrink to blade of grass or tower like the oak Roots will crush your wooden homes, your arrogance, your yoke Fire is the only thing that breaks my ancient spell But the woods will rise against you—this is nature's hell [Pre-Chorus] Time has fed my hunger for the blood of mortal greed Watch me change the battlefield into a cursed seed [Chorus] I am Leshen, master of the wild I am Leshen, nature's burning child Respect the legends buried in the dark before Leshen, Leshen—I am the roar! [Bridge] Trickster, scourge, the territorial soul Your ambition built the cage—I will reclaim the whole Every root, every fang, every eye that glows This is nature's reckoning, and now the darkness knows [Final Chorus] I am Leshen, master of the wild I am Leshen, nature's burning child Respect the legends buried in the dark before Leshen, Leshen—I am the roar! Leshen, Leshen, hear me evermore!
