Tenor 1 lyrics of All Things Decay and Die:

All things, all things, all things,
oh, oh,
the forest sees growth
down-fall of aged trees
tree stood
The proud dictator aa of the state like wood
I mean the sovereign of all plants
mean the oak, the oak
I mean the sovereign of all plants
Droops dies falls
cleaver’s stroke
I mean the sovereign of all plants
sovereign of all plants
mean the oak
I mean sovereign of all plants, of all plants
Droops dies falls
cleaver’s stroke.
Droops dies falls
cleaver’s stroke.
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, ah
mean sovereign of all plants, all plants
I mean the oak
mean sovereign of all plants
without the cleaver’s stroke, ah
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… oh.
All things decay and die.
