letra de bristlecone pine - brenn hill

verse 1:
staunch in conviction, hard twisted and ancient
surveying the world from its perch in the cold
the bristlecone pine through millennia watches
as new chapters open on stories untold

it watched as our young ones were schooled in tradition
and watched generations each march off to war
then watched as their soldiers returned broken hearted
just longing to sleep as they once had before

chorus 1:
but war’s never over for mem’ry or dreams
and, innocence lost ain’t important, it seems
oft woke being soaked through in sweat, fear and screams
which make both your head and heart pound
you still drop at the stop of a sound
cuz you’re stuck on some old battleground

verse 2:
the bristlecone whispers to wind in the valley
the wisdom of ages that live on the shelf
how humans are warlike by nature, and oddly
the only real threat to their kind is their self

they war over thought, and they war for religion
they war for a prize just the size of a throne
how many more young will they send off to battle
before they start helping the heart to get home

chorus 2:
but war’s never over for mem’ry or dreams
and, life ain’t as precious as claimed, so it seems
oft woke being soaked through in sweat, fear and screams
in a pain worse than most can conceive
tryin’ hard to hold on and believe
feeling forgot and deceived
dying of ptsd

final verse:
the bristlecone whispers to wind in the valley
surveying the world from its perch in the cold
twisted and ancient, through millennia it watches
as a new generation is readied for war
