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 -
You'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
