{ the next 2 bars are my favorite, IMHO I think it's one of the
heaviest type-o (and music in general) riffs.
the top 3 strings are actually drowns by keyboard and voice.

| This Song is about nature represented as the male son/husband of the Goddess. He is born in spring, pushing up through the ground and feeding the trees and grass with his energy. Through summer "Sol in prime" he maintains the growth of plants, but when autumn comes, he grows old and his power fades, turning everything different colors before they too die. Winter is the time of year when the Green Man lies dead, or dormant, before his rebirth again the following spring. While this song is overtly wiccan in inspiration, the cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth has been the centre of most ancient animistic and pagan religions. The Green Man was Thagda to the druids, Horus to the egyptians, and many other names. Also brings hope of human rebirth. This song also gives me a lot of comfort and hope, because it reminds me that the joys of life will return in a new spring of hope after the long winter of dispair. | |

| The Green Man is an old pagan deity. I'm mainly adding this because he may have been adopted as a "wiccan" deity but he is far older. I've got no problem with the whole wiccan thing, it's people that claim to have magical powers that give me the shits. | |

| The Green Man is an old English deity whose carvings can be found in old churches and the like. He looks like a man covered in leaves. He was one of the representations of Nature, to others, he was a tree spirit. | |

| DarkAxel: I may be wrong, but I thought it was Osiris instead of Horus. | |
