Rings Of Ages Past

Rings of ages past
Rings of ages past
Respect the past or we won't last

Five rings

Origins start out as a sprout
Innocent in a sense, seed full of doubt
Short, small, and strong I guess
Grown in the shade of the rest

Twelve rings

Other's leaves fall thick like snow
My sun shined a while ago
Photosynthesis struggles to remember this
I recall those who fall I made a list

Twenty rings

Weeping willows hanging low, they so depressed
All a sudden I'm over the rest
Hey storm, my friend, is that all you got?
Sticks and twigs, they start to rot

Alone, alone, alone, alone

Wake up, wake up, you slumber and rest
We are mighty, we are many, let it out your chest
Stranded in a place we call home
Two rings, six rings, we are not alone

Wake up, wake up, you slumber and rest
We are mighty, we are many, let it out your chest
Stranded in a place we call home
Twenty rings, a hundred rings, we are not alone

Hear my voice, it's not a choice
Empires rise, meet your demise
Respect the past or we won't last
Can't automate the human race

Hear my voice, it's not a choice
Empires rise, meet your demise
Respect the past or we won't last
Can't automate the human race
