5. Allure of the Earth The sun taunts you In everything you do Like a substance that works for everyone else But has no effect on you It shines for places You'll never go It shines for people You'll never know You believe that in your entire life You will never feel What it's like So you turn away Dream about an escape A hole in the earth deep and cool That you could climb down into I despise the rising Of the upsetting sun I'll hide away Until the day is done I'll exclude myself A few months of every year To avoid the drama Of the sun, sweat and tears You could fall away And no one would know Release the tension of holding on Feel the high of letting go So you turn away Elude the pressures of the sun Go find your place in the shade Far away from everyone It's so easy to get your fill When the engine turns and pushes in the dirt It's so easy to be satisfied When all you want to do is lay down and die The Allure of the Earth Those dreams can come true When you make a deal with the earth Who says... "Here's what I can do for you..." The Allure of the Earth When you are through with trying When you are tired and days are long Letting go seems so inviting The Allure of the Earth The desire to give up It is the encouragement When you are discouraged The Allure of the Earth When the urges aren't worth fighting The temptations on the great beyond Become so exciting

Since I realized the singer was dead (the time I bought this very album I didn't know yet...), the depressing feel of this track got instanctly enhanced to death. Especially when lyrics say: [It's so easy to be satisfied, when all you want to do is lay down and die...]
I'm glad to see that someone else feels similar about this song. Absolutely my favorite song from Woods of Ypres even though I love most all of their music especially the last album but this song and Distractions of living alone both have close meaning to me personally.
@@joeyharper4483 Hi there! Me too, I enjoy listening to the band's last work (Wood 5: GS & EL), there's less black metal and more gothic tinge in it and the sound works great that way imo! Woods Of Ypres, Agalloch, October Falls, Alcest, Katatonia and other depressive stuff is killer during fall and winter, although I believe bands like Burzum, Drudkh, I Shalt Become or something in the gothic rock/darkwave range like Joy Division and Dead Can Dance may be even worse if you're in the wrong mood... Greetings from Austrian Alps :)
Who benefits from the hits in this and other Woods of Ypres videos you published? David's family or you guys. This will help me determine if I keep coming back or go support someone else who is honest.
So just let's stick with your boring, shitty, shallow, brainless, happy pop music from people with so bad voice that it's listenable just as totaly masked with effects. :) You are a part of the below avarage mass, go back to your sheep friends, cause now you are lost in wolf territory. :D :D
Hey anyone still coming here to have this beautiful song transcendes us into the scares of the past
Nearly everyday. It's my favorite song of theirs. No actually just my favorite song period.
This album has a special place in my heart. There will never be another one quite like it.
Same here
Can I join please? Been listening this album since my teens
For the past decade, I keep finding myself coming back to Woods again and again... David had so much heart. R.I.P
Same, every few months here I am again going through the discography. Woods has brought me back everytime I broke
Same!
An eternal masterpiece, RIP David
RIP david you always in our heart
5. Allure of the Earth
The sun taunts you
In everything you do
Like a substance that works for everyone else
But has no effect on you
It shines for places
You'll never go
It shines for people
You'll never know
You believe that in your entire life
You will never feel
What it's like
So you turn away
Dream about an escape
A hole in the earth deep and cool
That you could climb down into
I despise the rising
Of the upsetting sun
I'll hide away
Until the day is done
I'll exclude myself
A few months of every year
To avoid the drama
Of the sun, sweat and tears
You could fall away
And no one would know
Release the tension of holding on
Feel the high of letting go
So you turn away
Elude the pressures of the sun
Go find your place in the shade
Far away from everyone
It's so easy to get your fill
When the engine turns and pushes in the dirt
It's so easy to be satisfied
When all you want to do is lay down and die
The Allure of the Earth
Those dreams can come true
When you make a deal with the earth
Who says...
"Here's what I can do for you..."
The Allure of the Earth
When you are through with trying
When you are tired and days are long
Letting go seems so inviting
The Allure of the Earth
The desire to give up
It is the encouragement
When you are discouraged
The Allure of the Earth
When the urges aren't worth fighting
The temptations on the great beyond
Become so exciting
Wow....................just wow.
The sun taunts you
In everything you do
Like a substance that works for everyone else

You'll never go
It shines for people

You will never feel
What it's like
So you turn away
Dream about an escape
A hole in the earth deep and cool

When you are discouraged
The Allure of the Earth
When the urges aren't worth fighting
The temptations on the great beyond

Thanks for the lyrics
So good and deep, damn
A masterpiece of its own... RIP Gold

So depressive :(
So just let's stick with your boring, shitty, shallow, brainless, happy pop music from people with so bad voice that it's listenable just as totaly masked with effects. :) You are a part of the below avarage mass, go back to your sheep friends, cause now you are lost in wolf territory. :D :D
You could say soulful
A soulful being with a sorrowful voice, Sweet guy.
@@botond9724 Holy shit, calm down.
