Lyrics
In skull forest shadows hang
In a forest of skulls, shadows linger
Same old story, love is blind
Love is often irrational and oblivious to reality
Fools and beggars, kings and priests
People from all walks of life, including fools, beggars, kings, and priests
A thousand corpses look like leaves
Death is so prevalent that a large number of corpses appear like fallen leaves
Come in pairs, share the wish
Pairs of individuals share a common desire
They go like one after cold last kiss
They move as one after experiencing the cold final kiss of death
Dark-boned bodies from the trees
Bodies with darkened bones, possibly representing decay, hang from trees
Have passed the door to the after-life meet
These bodies have crossed the threshold to the afterlife
In skull forest light has fled
In the skull-filled forest, light has disappeared
Oh, boneflower adorns the dead
A boneflower, symbolizing death, decorates the deceased
From the branches lovers hang
Lovers are suspended from the branches
One way trip to the promised land
Their journey is a one-way trip to a promised afterlife
Side by side and hand in hand
Side by side and hand in hand, but the outcome is uncertain
Nobody knows if dreams were found
Uncertainty surrounds whether dreams are realized in the afterlife
In skull forest light has fled
Again, in the skull-filled forest, light has vanished
Oh, boneflower adorns the dead
The boneflower continues to adorn the dead
In skull forest the brave they hang
Brave individuals also hang in the skull forest
The ones that lost or the ones that won
Whether winners or losers, they nurse the dream of life or death
To nurse the dream, to go or stay?
Contemplation of whether to pursue the dream or remain in the afterlife
If you have a heart you go all the way
A call to follow one's heart and commit fully, even in the face of death
