Keeper Of The Ledger Lyrics - Woods Of Ypres

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 

Return to the earth, pay the price for your existence 

Into the hand of earth's domain 

For there is balance to be maintained 

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 

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 assumption, of our human nature to assume... 

That the business of nature... is inherently good 

(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
