We are broken

Ancient and insurmountable we stood tall
But we are broken, one by one we fall
We have survived through nature's might
We have risen after fire's flight
But we are broken

That which strode boldly about our roots
Creatures majestic, can no longer taste our fruits
We have watched life grow and learn
We have watched life twist and turn
But we are broken

Across continents we spanned, shoulder to shoulder.
Now in your hearths we smolder.
To the earth we tumble, our wood you take
For nothing more than your own greedy sake
But we are broken

The grinding sound of diesel powered death
echoes among us and one by one we fall.
