Mighty Pine

Saw an old photograph

Could've been from yesterday

'Cause you still make that same face

And I'm still on the grass

Now that time has passed

I can see what was in our way

No, we couldn't out run our past

It would never let us get way

Like a dream that was unending

I was happy just to go along pretending

Like the mighty pine, I was unbending

Then the wind got strong

Winter came along

I swore on the old empire

That I would go to battle for you

I'd charge through flames of hell

But I didn't know

I'd be fighting myself

And you know I'm a lot like you

And we even got matching bruises

And we both know that the world is breaking in two

But this time I was praying that it wouldn't be true

Like a dream that was unending

I was happy just to go along pretending

Like the mighty pine, I was unbending

Then the wind got strong

Winter came along

Oh, the time has come today

For the old one to walk away

It's just the world making room

For another thats coming soon

And he's gonna fight just like me

And he's gonna fuck just like me

And you're gonna be just as free

To go and get what you need

Like a dream that was unending

I was happy just to go along pretending

Like the mighty pine, I was unbending

Then the wind got strong

Winter came along

I knew that I'd be gone

Back where I belong to

Now I'm back here out on the edge

Howling wind through the winter trees

And I know that I won't freeze

I still got the fire in me
