Alto lyrics of All things decay and die

Alto 1 lyrics of All Things Decay and Die:

All things, All things, All things, All things
All things, All things
All things decay with time
the forest sees growth
of her aged trees
That timber tall tree stood
of the state like wood, ah
mean sovereign of all plants
sovereign of all, of all plants
I mean the oak
mean sovereign of all plants
without the cleaver’s stroke. aa
I mean sovereign of all plants
I mean sovereign of all plants
I mean the oak
I mean sovereign of all plants,
Droops dies and falls
Droops dies and falls
without the cleaver’s stroke.
All things decay and die.

Alto 2 lyrics of All Things Decay and Die:

All things, All things, All things, All things, All things
All things
All things decay with time
the forest sees growth
down-fall of her aged trees
That timber tall tree stood
of the state like wood, aa
mean sovereign of all plants, all plants
I mean the oak
mean sovereign of all plants
without the cleaver’s stroke, aa
I mean sovereign of all plants
I mean sovereign of all plants
I mean the oak
mean sovereign of all plants
Droops dies falls
without the cleaver’s oo.
All things decay and die.

Alto solo lyrics of All Things Decay and Die:

All things decay with time
the forest sees the growth
and down-fall of her aged trees,
That timber tall which three-scored lusters stood
the proud dictator of the state like wood
I mean the sovereign of all plants
I mean the oak
Droops dies and falls without the cleaver’s stroke.
All things, All things, All things.
