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
