Tree Lyrics - Wuthering Heights

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
