There was a time before trees were wood, alive above all that's good
Blocking day, blending night, between us all and the light
The light above has seen it all. Now burn, now spin, now turn
Below and on that given by trees. Of life and death, of birds and bees
Burdened by beast, both bark and bite. We are between us and the light
The light above has seen it all. Now burn, now spin, now turn
First life and death, and then from beasts to birds. Diminishing species, diminishing herds
Tributes towering to greed and might, between us all and the light
The light above has seen it all. Now burn, now spin, now turn on
Below and on that light has seen. Now burn, now spin, now turn
