{{Song intro|October Rust}} The intro part of the track has recorded sounds of a garbage man dumping out garbage into the garbage truck once driven by [[Peter Steele]], then drives away. The title of this song, "Green Man", was inspired when children called Steele Green Man when he was wearing green jumpsuit when he worked as a park maintenance. The song is about Pete's love of nature having four seasons, as well as rebirth, renaissance and spirits of the forest. It also contains lyrics about the {{wp|Green Man|sculpture of the same name}} as shown on the cover art. The slowness and nature of this song may make some listeners feel natural, warm and inviting, per the review on [http://simpleanimereviews.blogspot.com/2013/10/type-o-negative-october-rust-review.html ''Simple Anime'']. |

Lyrics
Spring won't come, the need of strife
To struggle to be freed from hard ground
The evening mists that creep and crawl
Will drench in the dew and so drown
I'm the green man
The green man
Sol in prime sweet summertime
Cast shadows of doubt on my face
A midday sun, it's caustic hues
Refracting within the still lake
I'm the green man
The green man
Autumn in her flaming dress
Of orange, brown, gold fallen leaves
My mistress of the frigid night
I worship pray to on my knees
Winter's breath of filthy snow
Befrosted paths to the unknown
Have my lips turned true purple
Life is coming to an end
So says me, me wiccan friend
Nature coming full circle
[Incomprehensible]
Winter's breath of filthy snow
Befrosted paths to the unknown
Have my lips turned true purple
Life is coming to an end
So says me, me wiccan friend
Nature coming full circle
I'm the green man
The green man
I'm the green man
The green man
[Incomprehensible]
