Evergreen, hear their song Root and branch, grow them strong Shadows fall, see them long Wise man, listen to the forest song Grow them broad, grow them long Grow them tall, grow them strong Shadows fall, see them long Wise man, listen to the forest song Leaves of green and roots of men Let the forest breathe again From birnam wood to dunsinane Let the forest walk again Who's lighting the fires that burn them down?... Grow them broad, grow them long Grow them tall, grow them strong Shadows fall, see them long Wise man, listen to the forest song At the hand of man, see them burn Who's lighting the fires that burn? Life blood never return Who's lighting the fires that burn? At the hand of man, see them fall Who's lighting the fires that burn? Wise man, listen to the forest call Why don't you listen to the forest call? The fires that burn them down Leaves of green and roots of men Let the forest breathe again From birnam wood to dunsinane Let the forest walk again Who's fighting the fires that burn? Steel wheels move, you can feel them turn Ripped from the earth, your roots will tear The sound of rending flesh fills the air In fire and searing heat, your body's burned Consumed in flames, your ashes spurned The wind blows, the rain falls, no time to pause A desert lies where your life once was You stood by and waited for your turn so now Who's lighting the fires that burn? You stood by and waited for your turn so now Who's lighting the fires that burn them down? You stood by and waited for your turn so now Who's lighting the fires that burn? You stood by and waited for your turn The fires that burn At the hand of man, see them burn Who's lighting the fires that burn? Life blood never return Who's lighting the fires that burn? At the hand of man, see them fall Who's lighting the fires that burn? Wise man, listen to the forest call Leaves of green and roots of men Let the forest breathe again From birnam wood to dunsinane Let the forest walk again
