Woods Of Ypres - Keeper of the Ledger lyrics

[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 quantity of your time [Chorus] x2 Return to the earth, pay the price for your existence Into the hand of earth's domain For there is balance to be maintained [Bridge] We create our myths of purpose To fill our lives with hope and wonder But to the keeper of the ledger for the cult of nature Your body is just... a(nother) number It is a fair a**umption, of our human nature to a**ume... That the business of nature... is inherently good [Outro] (When) nature comes collecting, it doesn't care at all about you Nature comes collecting, it doesn't care at all to know you (When) nature comes collecting, it doesn't care to hear your story Nature comes collecting, and only wants you for your body Nature is the man (after all), nature is the mob (after all) Nature is the business (after all), nature is the cult
