Shakhan - Where Has The Kauri Forest Gone? lyrics

rate me

In this song I do lament<br />

I lament over you.<br />

For you where once the many but now you are the few.<br />

Your tops will never, your tops will never scrape the blue.<br />

Your glory gone just like an old mans faded tatoo.<br />

Chorus<br />

Where has the kauri forest gone?<br />

Oh the mighty have fallen?(repeat)<br />

<br />

The saw is like a sword and many are the slain.<br />

The trees were on the ground and over them stood Cain.<br />

Over them we stood as if from G-d we had been ordained.<br />

We took the wood and bled the amber from the vein.<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

Our crimes could be writen, written on a list.<br />

For we were once the mad, the maddest landscapist.<br />

No-one wanted to, no-one wanted to, to resist the defilement of such a beautiful virgin forest.<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

The time cannot heal, neither can it mend.<br />

Our forest it is now so sadly orphaned.No birds will rest, rest in their branches, singing the morning chorus.<br />

For we did sell, yes sell their greatness like a Judas.<br />

Chorus
