ONE DAY WE WERE WALKING THROUGH THE WOODS
WE SAW A STUMP AND IT LOOKED SO GOOD
WE PICKED IT UP AND BROUGHT IT BACK TO OUR HOUSE
AND THAT'S WHEN WE KNEW IT NEEDED EYES AND A MOUTH
THE TRANSFORMATION WAS SWIFT AND PRECISE
HE WENT FROM BORING CHUNK OF WOOD TO A STUMP WITH TWO EYES
A GOOD OLD PAL, HE COULD TELL NO LIES
HE GREW UP STRONG AMONG THE RATS AND THE FLIES
WE ASKED HIS NAME AND FED HIM CANNED GOODS
HE LOOKED US IN THE EYES AND YELLED "I'M MR. NECKOFTHEWOODS"
WHAT ARE YOUR NAMES? HE INQUIRED WITH A GRIN
DON'T YOU HAVE A TITLE? WHERE DO WE BEGIN?
YOU SEEM SO PLAIN AND LACKING THE GOODS
I KNOW! WE'LL CALL YOU STEFF AND ZACH OF THE WOODS!
WE JUMPED FOR JOY AS REALITY SANK IN
WE SHOOK HIS ROOTS GRACIOUSLY AND THANKED HIM
BUT NOT ALL WAS SO PEACHY ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN
THE COUNCIL OF THE TREES COULDN'T HELP BUT FROWN!
THEIR FRIEND WAS SWEPT AWAY
IN THE BLINK OF AN INSTANT
THEY DON'T HAVE EYES LIKE HIM
SO THEY PROBABLY MISSED IT
BUT THAT'S NOT STOPPING THEM
FROM FIGHTING FOR REVENGE
AN EVIL PLOT IS BEING HATCHED
BY HIS WOODS-DWELLING FRIENDS!

A HUSH FALLS OVER THE FOREST
THE CHATTERING BEGINS, AN EVIL TREE CHORUS
MIGHTY SQUEAKS AND CHIRPS IN THE DISTANCE
THE WOODLAND CRITTERS RECRUITED FOR ASSISTANCE
THE GRAND OAK PROCLAIMS THAT THE BATTLE MUST BEGIN
TWO CITY DWELLERS KIDNAPPED OUR KIN!
WE MUST NOT LET THIS RIGHTEOUS SCUM INTERFERE
WITH OUR PLANS FOR GLOBAL DOMINATION THIS YEAR
ONWARD THEY MARCH TOWARD THE HOUSE OF THE BUNG
WITH LITTLE REGARD FROM WHERE THEY CAME FROM
THEIR WOODSY BATTLE HYMNS ARE BEING LOUDLY SUNG
TWO ROPES IN TOW, FOR THE TRAITORS MUST BE HUNG!

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN PALS WITH A STUMP?
I BET YOU NEVER THOUGHT IT COULD BE DONE!
OH THE JOYS OF HAVING A SMALL WOODEN FRIEND
THE KIND OF STUMP THAT STAYS TRUE TO THE END!
WE'VE BEEN STUMPED
YES, OUR DREAMS CAME TRUE
WE'VE BEEN STUMPED
HOW BOUT YOU?
STEFF AND ZACH OF THE WOODS TOOK THEIR PAL OUTSIDE
AND DUG A LITTLE HOLE TO PUT HIM INSIDE
HIS ROOTS EXTENDED THROUGH THE SOIL BELOW
TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD, DON'T YOU KNOW!
TREES FROM FOREIGN LANDS ARE SENDING THOUGHTS THROUGH THEIR ROOTS
MR. NECKOFTHEWOODS HAS SOME THOUGHTS TO BOOT!
BUT HIS FACE GREW SAD AND HE LOOKED CONCERNED
ABOUT THE MESSAGE HE JUST GOT FROM A FAR AWAY WORLD!
HE HEARD THAT HIS COMRADES WERE HUNTING FOR HIM
AND FOR HIS NEW PALS TOO, THAT GAVE HIM EYES AND A CHIN!
THE DANGER WAS APPARENT, THE TENSION WAS THICK!
HE LOOKED AT US, AND THEN HE WAS SICK!!!
HE BARFED UP PINE CONES AND LEAVES AND DIRT!
HE TRULY LOOKED LIKE HE WAS HURT!
STEFFOFTHEWOODS ASKED WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HIM
BUT HE ONLY STARED WHILE LEAKING SAP FROM WITHIN!
HE SAID "I'M SO SORRY BUT YOU'RE IN GRAVE DANGER"
MY TREE COMRADES ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR UNCONTROLLED ANGER
WE MUST FLEE THIS HOUSE AT ONCE, OR SUFFER THE WRATH!
NOW HURRY MY FRIENDS! CLIMB ONTO MY BACK!

CLINGING TO HIS BACK
PREPARE FOR THE ATTACK
MR. NECKOFTHEWOODS
MUST PROTECT THE PACK
CRAWLING TO THEIR DOOM
THE ENCOUNTER WILL BE SOON
THE TREES ARE CRAWLING TOO
NO IDEA WHAT THEY'LL DO
UP AHEAD THERE'S A LIGHT OF SOME KIND
SO BRIGHT IT MAKES US BLIND
IT LOOKS LIKE RAGING FIRE
WHO KNOWS WHAT WE'LL FIND
THE TREES APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE
THE FIGHTING HAS BEGUN
ROOTS AND BRANCHES SWINGING
BUT WE'LL NEVER RUN
MR. NECKOFTHEWOODS CHOPS THEM DOWN TO SIZE
THANKS TO HIS NEW MOUTH AND PAIR OF EYES
HE CAN SEE WHERE THEY'LL STRIKE NEXT
WITH THEIR WOODSY CHANTING HEX
BODIES SCATTERED ON THE GROUND
NO ONE HEARS OR MAKES A SOUND
THE BATTLE HAS BEEN WON TODAY
WE CAME OUT ON TOP, HOORAY!
MR. NECKOFTHEWOODS TURNS TO US
WITH A STRANGE LITTLE GRIN
HE ASKS "WHERE TO NEXT?"
AS WE CLIMB ONTO HIM
OUR JOURNEY HAD ONLY JUST BEGUN
SO MUCH MORE TO DO, BUT THIS TIME FOR FUN
SO LONG FOR NOW, WE HAVE TO RUN
WE'RE SITTING ON A STUMP FLYING INTO THE SUN!

TREES SCATTERED EVERYWHERE
BRANCHES LAYING ON THE GROUND
THE BATTLE HAS BEEN FOUGHT
GLORY HAD BEEN FOUND
STEFFOFTHEWOODS HELD HER FIST UP HIGH
AND PROCLAIMED THAT WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO TRY
THE COUNCIL NOW DESTROYED AND WE KNOW WHY
AND THEN WE FLEW AWAY IN THE BRIGHT BLUE SKY
MR. NECKOFTHEWOODS REALLY TAUGHT US HOW TO ROCK
NOW OUR BUNG RITUALS WILL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS RIGHT OFF
THE POWER OF THE STUMP HAS US FEELING LIKE GODS
MR. NECKOFTHEWOODS JUST SMILES AND NODS
WHAT A TIME WE HAD WITH HIM
OUR STUMPY FRIEND WITH SAP WITHIN
DANGER IS OUR MIDDLE NAME
WE BEAT THEIR LITTLE GAME
FLYING OVER TOP OF THE CITIES BELOW
LOOKING FOR ADVENTURE WHEREVER WE GO
HERE TO SAVE THE DAY AND FIGHT OFF EVIL TREES
IT REALLY IS THE LIFE FOR YOU AND ME!
AND NOW OUR STORY COMES TO A CLOSE
DON'T BE SAD OR WRINKLE YOUR NOSE
WE'LL BE BACK AGAIN FOR A STORY THIS YEAR
HAVE NO DOUBT! HAVE NO FEAR!
PROSTHETIC BUNG SAVED THE WORLD THAT DAY
TWO LEGENDS AND THEIR STUMP THAT PAVED THE WAY
FOR OTHER MAGIC TREES TO INHABIT THE LAND
ALL FOR ONE! ROOTS IN HAND!

It sounds like Black Sabbath and Monster Magnet. 𧲠Lucifer has become a reliable source for good music. This is not the first album I've had the pleasure to listen to.

it's good, just slow down on the music library, it can end up assassinating the chances of mainstays of keeping up with your music. but if your aim is an infinite library, go for it.
