about

Durge for the Trees, a lament folk style with dropped tuning on guitar

lyrics

Well I heard the saddest thing, have you heard it my friend
Today they came to cut on our sacred mountain
The ancient Grandfather trees
With their chainsaws they've come and the'rer cutting them down
And they're falling to the Earth and they're shaking the ground
The ancient Grandfather trees

Oh we're so lonely for these trees, they are friends of ours
They benevolently lived here and blessed our lives every day
Oh our hearts are crying, oh our hearts are crying, oh our hearts are crying

When you go home to see your family tonight
Will you tell them you cut the trees on our sacred mountainside
And will they ask you why?
Well I had to tell my seven year old son today,
oh he looked at me and then he looked away,
Oh his heart was crying , oh his heart was crying

There were those of us who held on to the hope
That you'd see these trees and then you'd realize
They weren't worth any price
But with your chainsaws you've come and you're cutting them down
And they're falling to the Earth and they're shaking the ground
The Grandfathers are down
Yes you're cutting the Grandfathers and they're falling to the ground

There are many of us who are crying today,
There are many of us who are crying today,
Cause you're cutting the Grandfathers and you're carrying them away
Oh our hearts are crying, Oh our hearts are crying
Oh our hearts are crying, Oh our hearts are crying
