Melusine is a figure of European folklore, a feminine spirit of fresh waters in sacred springs and rivers, often referred to as a symbol of the prosperity of Medieval Western Europe. This song is about the massive deforestation of the era and about the price to pay for it.

lyrics

Spirit of sacred rivers, fairy of the springs
Full of serenity, bringing on prosperity
She encouraged civilized man to soldier on,
Inspired him to victory over savagery

But thriving comes at a price
Keep striving – make a sacrifice

So behold the legacy of Melusine
Ravages never before seen
Behold the legacy of Melusine
What’s a palette worth without forest green?

...Then she flew away on reptilian wings
And so it came to be, enter disharmony
Fertile soil into desolate wasteland
Karst and aridity, regions in agony

Decreasing – forests fall
Never ceasing urban sprawl

So behold the legacy of Melusine
Ravages never before seen
Behold the legacy of Melusine
What’s a palette worth without forest green?

Behold the legacy of Melusine
Prelude to the revolution of machines…
