WUTHERING HEIGHTS - TREE lyrics

rate me

A thousand years i've stood here

I'll stand a thousand more

Seen kingdoms rise and fall

Seen pestilence and war

How swift are your little lives

How swiftly you forget

My roots are deep in your forefathers's bones

My head in the air that you breath

When you freeze i submit your fire

When you're hot come and seek shadow beneath

Tree - tall as a mountain

Older than fathers of kings of men

Stood here and watched while your heroes died

I am your memory... I am incarnate life

My branches you cradle

I watched the rise of man

While you wished upon the stars

I never left the land

And you've hung villians from my arms

Nailed prophets high on my chest

In your mind you may be the master

But in the soil we both shall rest

Tree -

Yoo've convinced yourselves you were cast out of Eden

But you left willingly in pride

Now when you freeze in your castles of stone

Do you think you were right

Tree -

How fragile are your lives

How fragile your dreams

And you shall ache with thirst

In eroded landscapes( there's no escape)

Last species alone... In a field of stone

But listen mankind... What i tell is true

From a buried seed a forest will be

You may destroy

But you cannot undo
