Fear and Power.
A lesson,
from a sword,
hung by a single strand of hair.
But what would become of the sword?
A garden was built in honour,
and the sword was laid to rest.
Damocles revealed a glimmer of valour
and took care of the garden as a sign of peace and goodwill.
For centuries, the garden was lost,
but it has now been found.

Peace won't last forever
if the garden is left unkept.
For the flowers will be consumed by the weeds,
and the ghost will be left to haunt.

A Forest Opera is an artist name thought of by two buddies
trying to form a band, despite having two different life paths, and choosing to be best friends instead. The name now represents a non-judgemental umbrella name for honest experimentation and genre exploration.
