A forest, also referred to as a wood or the woods, is an area with a high density of trees. As with cities, depending on various cultural definitions, what is considered a forest may vary significantly in size and have different classifications according to how and what of the forest is composed.[vague] These plant communities cover approximately 9.4 percent of the Earth's surface (or 30 percent of total land area), though they once covered much more (about 50 percent of total land area), in many different regions and function as habitats for organisms, hydrologic flow modulators, and soil conservers, constituting one of the most important aspects of the biosphere. Although forests are classified primarily by trees, the concept of a forest ecosystem includes additional species (such as smaller plants, fungi, bacteria, and animals) as well as physical and chemical processes such as energy flow and nutrient cycling.
A typical forest is composed of the overstory (canopy or upper tree layer) and the understory. The understory is further subdivided into the shrub layer, herb layer, and also the moss layer and soil microbes. In some complex forests, there is also a well-defined lower tree layer. Forests are central to all human life because they provide a diverse range of resources: they store carbon, aid in regulating the planetary climate, purify water and mitigate natural hazards such as floods. Forests also contain roughly 90 percent of the world's terrestrial biodiversity.
System of a Down, also known by the acronym SOAD and often shortened to System, is a rock band from Southern California, formed in 1994. It consists of Serj Tankian (lead vocals, keyboards, rhythm guitar), Daron Malakian (guitar, vocals), Shavo Odadjian (bass, background vocals) and John Dolmayan (drums).
The band achieved commercial success with the release of five studio albums; from which three debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. System of a Down has been nominated for four Grammy Awards, and won the award in 2006 for Best Hard Rock Performance for the song "B.Y.O.B.". The group went on hiatus in August 2006, but reunited in November 2010, embarking on a worldwide tour in 2011.
Serj Tankian, Daron Malakian, and Shavo Odadjian all attended Rose and Alex Pilibos Armenian School while children, although because of their eight-year age difference they did not meet until 1992 while working on separate projects at the same recording studio. They formed a band named Soil with Tankian on vocals and keyboards, Malakian on vocals and guitar, Dave Hakopyan (who later played in The Apex Theory/Mt. Helium) on bass and Domingo "Dingo" Laranio on drums. The band hired Shavo Odadjian (another Rose and Alex Pilibos alumnus) as manager, although he eventually joined Soil as rhythm guitarist. After three years, only one live show, and one jam session recording, Hakopyan and Laranio quit the band, feeling that it was not going anywhere.
Plot
In 1977 in a small town in West Texas displaced New Yorker brother and sister Forest and Luna construct their own mud city in their front yard. Their New York artist parents face off over deep resentments until their escalating dispute drags the kids into a tug of war and a turning point for the whole family.

again i'm here
breathing clearest air
embraced by nature
amazed by life
trees
soil
summer morning
clean air
birds sing
life laughs
tree
Deep in the forest
the omens are bad,
a cloud passes over the moon
Devil Wind
bends the trees,
a cloud passes over the moon.
And the moon takes a peep
when the Gypsy girl sings,
and her song rises up
from the dark to the light,
like smoke to the sky,
when the Gypsy girl sings
at the river's edge.
Deep in the forest
the omens are bad,
a cloud passes over the moon.
White wolf waits,
grey wolf howls
at the girl by the river's edge.
The bullet head boys
with their baby blue eyes,
their donner und blitzen,
the lily white gadje
religiously hatching their plots
in the eyries of eagles.
But the moon's keeping watch
at the Gypsy girl sings,
sees her song rising up
like smoke to the sky
from the dark to the light,
when the Gypsy girl sings
at the river's edge.
Like the sun on the forest
her song rises up, from
the ashes of Auschwitz,
the death camp at Lety,
the white cliffs of Dover,
the song of the Roma
lives on and on...
Trees grow tall
though the winds blow cold,
tall trees grow.
Tall trees grow
where the cold wind blow,
Forest
Wild and high
Elevation's a lie
And I've got to be alive
Now I'm with you
Wild and free
But you and up just like me
When I'm with you
Run run run
The trees are falling down
I wish I believed
Then I wouldn't have to think
That everything was alright
If I was with you
And I wish I could see
Cos then I might believe
That everything was right
If I was with you
And I wish I could see
Cos then I might believe
That everything was right
If I was with you
Run run run
The trees are falling down
Oh my head
Hold my head
Oh my head
The trees are falling down
God is watching
God is feeling
Guard my actions
And guard my feelings
And if I stand here
will I hear the trees fall down
Or will I bend
God is watching
God is feeling
Guard my actions
And guard my feelings
And if I stand here
will I hear the trees fall down
Or will I bend
God is watching
God is feeling
Guard my actions
And guard my feeling
And if I stand here
will I hear the trees fall down
And you ascending
Run run run
The trees are falling down
Oh my head
Hold my head
Oh my head
As you take off your bandage
ask yourself if you're alright now
take a break from the world and all the ones you love
let it out as you yell it
might as well cause you're all alone
name in vein while you're at it
feels so good
I've said a lot of things, I've done it all, but not this
I got to figure out why the world is so big
While you hide in the forest
you engage w/ the animals
gathering all around you is what you wanted all along
through the secrets and knowledge
and opinions from all around
when the sky turns to water,
you'll know what to do
I've said a lot of things, I've done it all, but not this
I got to figure out why the world is so big
I've gone way way out, way out of bounds
I'll do anything, tell me how
I'll tell you to get by, My side
I'll tell you to get by, My side
I'll tell you to get by, My side
I'll tell you to get by
I'll tell you to get by, My side
I'll tell you to get by, My side
I'll tell you to get by, My side
I'll tell you to get by
I've said a lot of things, I've done it all, but not this
I got to figure out, why the world is so big
I've said a lot of things, I've done it all, but not this
I got to figure out, why the world is so big
I've gone way way out, way out of bounds
Summer rain falls on the apple branches
Lights from heaven dancing with the shadows
Come take my hand
Let me be in your forest
Sometimes you think loneliness is better than pain
And you sink deeper in your valley
Is this the place to be in your memory?
No, I never wanna lose you in the forest of the night
In vanity's lair, yearning for the angel calling
Hear the lonely prayer ringing through the land of rain
Across the thin air
They sing voice to voice
The ancient melodies
Calling you
Autumn goes by
Combing twilight into my hair
I look back on the passing tenderness
Let me stay by your side
In your memory
No, you're never gonna find me in the forest of the night
In vanity's lair, no more holy angel calling
Hear my lonely prayer ringing through the land of rain
Across the thin air
We sing voice to voice
The ancient melodies
I'm calling you
Come and feel me in the silence
Come in light in the rain
Come and feel me in the silence
Come in light in the rain
Come and feel me in the silence
Come in light in the rain
Come and feel me in the silence
Come and look *see*
No, I never wanna lose you in the forest of the night
In vanity's lair, yearning for the angel calling
Hear the lonely prayer ringing through the land of rain
Across the thin air
They sing voice to voice
The ancient melodies
Calling you

It's not my fault that you lost your way,
Your insanity will prevail.
It's not my fault that you lost your way,
Your insanity will prevail.
It's not my fault that you lost your way...
Nous étions tous en voyage, quand un brouillard s'approche
C'est la forêt des regrets amers, des doutes sans rémissions
à gauche, une vieille femme me dit
Ne faites jamais ce que je fis
Qu'est-ce que vous faites?
Je ne fis rien, je ne fis rien de ma vie
Y a-t-il un meurtre qu'on oublie
Y a-t-il quelque chose qu'on ne doit
Finirons-nous dans la forêt des regrets amères?
Y a-t-il un meurtre qu'on oublie
Y a-t-il quelque chose qu'on ne doit
Finirons-nous dans la forêt des regrets amères?
Nous prenons le sentier vers la droite...
En revenant de la forêt fidèle
J'ai vu venir un soir de mai
Nous passons à cheval devant le castel
Peut-être devrions nous arrêter
Mais les moines vont-ils s'insulter?
J'ai repris la route de la rivière
J'ai repris le chemin battant
Elle m'a dit viens cette rivière
Et j'ai revu tous mes enfants
Nous étions tous en voyage
Quand un brouillard s'approche
C'est la forêt des regrets amers
Des doutes sans rémissions
Your insanity will prevail...
Y a-t-il un meurtre qu'on oublie
Y a-t-il un meurtre qu'on ne doit
Finirons-nous dans la forêt des regrets amères?
J'ai voyagé à travers tant
J'ai revu le troisième sang
Et j'ai repris l'âme guerrière
Et j'ai repris l'âme du combattant
Y a-t-il un meurtre qu'on oublie
Y a-t-il un meurtre qu'on ne doit
Finirons-nous dans la forêt des regrets amères?
Y a-t-il un meurtre qu'on oublie
Y a-t-il un meurtre qu'on ne doit
Finirons-nous dans la forêt des regrets amères?
L'un d'entre nous décide de rebrousser son chemin
Il y a quelque part derrière lui un remord
Finirais-je avec celui-ci quand je serai mort?
Quand je serai mort, quand je serai mort
Me dirais-je:
En revenant de la forêt fidèle
J'ai vue venir les oiseaux de mai
Ils m'ont dit que cette frontière
N'est pas plus loin que le premier soir d'été
Nous étions tous en voyage, quand cette aube s'approche
Disparaissent les fantômes du soir de mai
N'ais-je rien oublié?
Un embaumeur, une églantine
Une rombière, un sarrasin
Un richichi, une pierre au rein
Et tous et toutes de hurler:
Le vilebrequin de tes erreurs,
Percera-t-il tes certitudes?
Et l'illusion de ce bonheur,
It's not my fault that you lost your way
Your insanity will prevail
It's not my fault that you lost your way
Nous étions tous en voyage
Quand un brouillard s'approche
C'est la forêt des regrets amers
Des doutes sans rémission
I'm living life in this forest
The shadows and stains
And the government they take the gains
But we're left with the reigns
In the name of our God and our dead generations
The poets have been called for creation
We were born free to the world
As we were born we will depart
I refuse upon the mic to be refused my spark
See the fire, seventh sign is near
So hear this calling, once the man, come twice the child
'Cause the fear of the man turned us all fucking wild
I'm born again to see the end
'Cause all I really truly got is this block and my friends
But where am I gonna be when there's nothing left to spend?
And I remember what the dread said
And I remember what the dread said
It's not my fault that you lost your way
Your insanity will prevail
It's not my fault that you lost your way
So all you freak punks and all you cool Gino's
Pump up your Jeeps and and brass down your Chinos
We hit you with the Bran Van style
Roquefort, blue cheese, Kraft floor, cheese tile
Yeah, we hitting you strong
We be the lawd awful song you can't shake from your gong
With a BV3 g riff to a drunk drum
C'mon man, spill some outcome
When I was lost, I saw the forest was dark
You lose the fire and the flame with the loss of the spark
I let my body house demons that fed on my mind
I was looking for myself to myself, I was blind
Because my senses confused with what was once so real
I could not hear, taste, touch or fear
But slowly I try at each and every cost to rebuild
These strengths that I've lost
It's not my fault that you lost your way
Your insanity will prevail
It's not my fault that you lost your way
So test drive to the forest, to the jungle
To the place outside yourself
I'm speaking strictly of the self
You know as I jump, slip, step deep and wide
And watch all the animals
The mammals, lions, fishes and the camels
And you know what they're gonna do
They'll set you up, they'll knock you down
They'll kick your ass all over your hometown
And they're gonna ask you something that you've got to learn to do
It's something that's so good for you
You know you roar, you roar, you roar
Jump
Whoo
Ooh
Oh yeah yeah
Listen
Bright lights
Fancy restaurants
Everything in this world that a man could want
Got a bank account bigger than the law should allow
Still I'm lonely now
Pretty faces from the covers of the magazines
From their covers to my covers wanna lay with me
Fame and fortune still can't find
Just a grown man runnin out of time
[CHORUS]
Even though it seems I have everything
I don't wanna be a lonely fool
All of the women
All the expensive cars
All of the money don't amount to you
I can make believe I have everything
But I can't pretend that I don't see
That without you girl my life is incomplete
Said without you girl ahh
Listen
Your perfume
Your sexy lingerie
Girl I remember it just like it was on yesterday
A Thursday you told me you had fallen in love
I wasn't sure that I was
It's been a year
Winter summer spring and fall
But bein without you just ain't livin ain't nothing at all
If I could travel back in time
I'd relive the days you were mine
[CHORUS]
Oh yeah that without you girl ahh
I just can't help lovin you
But I loved you much too late
I'd give anything
And everything
To hear you say
That you'll stay
[CHORUS (2x)]
Without ya girl
Without ya girl my life
Without you girl
My life my life is incomplete
Without you girl
My life is incomplete
Oh yeah
My life is incomplete
Oh yeah yeah
Whoo
there's a forest in my heart
no i'm not crazy
i can feel the trees
reaching out toward the sky
but the sun is getting hard
somehow that changes me
maybe you have seen
how the light can leave my eyes...
there's a forest in my heart
it seems so crazy
cause i've tried to climb
every tree that shades my mind
but with every try i find
the branches breaking
and i'm alone and cold
like the shadows left behind...
there's a forest in my heart
i must be crazy
to believe that i
could climb to reach the sky
for i know that in its time
the sun will come to me
and in warmth and love
i will rise the above the sky...
There's a forest in my heart
No i'm not crazy
I can feel the trees
Reaching out toward the sky
But the sun is getting hard
Somehow that changes me
Maybe you have seen
How the light can leave my eyes...
There's a forest in my heart
It seems so crazy
Cause i've tried to climb
Every tree that shades my mind
But with every try i find
The branches breaking
And i'm alone and cold
Like the shadows left behind...
There's a forest in my heart
I must be crazy
To believe that i
Could climb to reach the sky
For i know that in it's time
The sun will come to me
And in warmth and love
Let's go
And I'll play all my songs
Maybe one will make you strong
You never really know...
The other day I saved a king
Learned to use a sword and gave it a swing
In electronic forests
Of pixellated versions of what was once
A green and bold and happy paradise for us
But I can (oh I can, I can!) return it if you want me to
Just promise, though, you won't outgrow me
You know
To save your soul I'll die
You will be my princess
Even in disguise
And all the rocks will roll
In electronic forests
Of pixellated versions of what was once
A green and bold and happy paradise for us
But I can (oh I can, I can!) return it if you want me to
Trees of green, all I can see
On my way through the forest.
I kneel down on my knees,
I stare into the face of a little man
Showing me his fear,
The humans are coming near.
Take me home deep into the forest,
Show me your life
Or the ruins that are left.
Creatures around me
No telling what they want,
They're looking upon their greatest fear,
Their greatest fear.
Spirits of the forest,
Prevent us from being taken.
Lords from above (above),
Please let them awaken.
The beauty of the trees
And all the things they stand for,
Oxygen turns into a breeze.
Mankind can't take their breath away,
'Cos when the morning comes
Its up to the spirits, the spirits to say.
Now I owe this little man a promise:
Reveal the precious gift of nature,
And I will be the memory,
For I can tell nothing has changed.
The little man disappeared without a trace,
Walk with me my little child
To the forest of denial
speak with me my only mind
walk with me until the time
and make the forest turn to wine
you take the legend for a fall
you saw the product
why can't you see that you are my child
why don't you know that you are my mind
tell everyone in the world, that I'm you
take this promise to the end of you
walk with me my little friend
Take this promise to the end
Speak with me my only mind
Walk with me until the end
And make the forest turn to sand
you take the legend for a fall
you saw the product
why can't you see that you are my child
why don't you know that you are my mind
tell everyone in the world, that I'm you
take this promise to the end of you
Take this promise for a ride
you saw the forest, now come inside
You took the legend for it's fall
you saw the product of it all
no televisions in the air
no circumcisions on the chair
You made the weapons for us all
just look at us now
why can't you see that you are my child
why don't you know that you are my mind
tell everyone in the world, that I'm you
Shimmer of cold light of the moon
Made icicles point us like sharp knives
From this moment on, no words are needed
Two souls, but through this path only one will go
Breath this chilling air
Let the lungs inhale, the spirit of murder
Red crystals pour to snow
To kill a human, to end a life
This forest is a shrine
Your flesh bound to earth
At the treshold of death
Sparks start to gather
Dark gateway opens
You were the key
Into the dephts of evil
One had to die
To channel the power
Into a greater being
Shimmer of cold light of the moon
Small command that opend the door
Drew away the curtain, I had to assign
Into a forest I've never seen before
One million pixels in a line
Dark dark dark
Is the road to my heat
Sun sun sun
Where are you gone
2000 miles following the passage
Screens in malfunction, lost the key
2000 years waiting for a message
A tired old man, looking at me
Dark dark dark
Found myself in the middle of the forest
Off from my hand, the data-glove
Down on my knees, into the forest
And in the sky was written "LOVE"
There's a hole inside my brain
And the sky turns black again
There's a rain in the middle of my brain
Putting out fire that tried to burn
