LYRICS

8. Red Crown

From the forest floor
Azalea gazes up and smiles
to the trees above
Up to the height of the canopy
And the glory of the red crown

Auxin coursing through regal veins
Sempervirens mighty grows

From highest peaks arboreal
Sequoia watches over its realm
Gifting it life, from the fog it draws
Near the coast
A kingdom in the mist

From the boughs drops fall
Down to the earth
Feeding the understory

Red crowned monarch reigning tall
A Throne in mist in Cascadia

Within its boughs
Upon its leaves
Sunlight rains down
Through the branches
And reaches ground

Red crowned monarch reigning tall
In domains of Cascadia

Flora and fauna
High in the air
Live in cities of soil

WIth balance ruling
A perfect ecosystem
