The Lonely Tree Lyrics

This is the tale of a Lonely Tree
grown unmentionables years ago
amidst a huge glade
with green and shiny leaves

In a forest of conifers
tall trees like towers
with animals and fresh wind
and a bright sky

Squirrels, deers, bears and more
through this forest they go
a forest to remember
a forest to forget

You could climb the mountains
and see the sun in its splendor
it's a forest to remember
it's forest to forget

In a glade in a valley
the Lonely Tree there stands
a mysterious tree, and great
it is the forest's soul

The Lonely Tree of the Lonelands
high, mysterious, there stands
body, blood and soul
trunk, leaves and roots

The tree was prized
because everyone wanted to possess it
but no one could have it
therefore they all will die for it

All realms and races
wanted to possess the tree
and is under its branches
where they all will die for it

[Chorus 1]

A hero must have to fall
not one, not two, nor three
an army, a realm, a race
under its branches they'll die for it

The Lonely Tree alone remain
the sacred tree none will reclaim
the forest creatures, only visitors
Nobody will claim the Lonely Tree

A hero must have to fall
not one, not two, nor three
an army, a realm, a race
under its branches they'll die for it

The war will come
and for it they'll fight
and for it they'll die
for ever, and ever

[Chorus 2]

A hero must have to fall
not one, not two, nor three
an army, a realm, a race
under its branches they'll die for it

The Lonely Tree alone remain
the sacred tree none will reclaim
the forest creatures, only visitors
Nobody will claim the Lonely Tree

A hero must have to fall
not one, not two, nor three
an army, a realm, a race
under its branches they'll die for it

And so the war will have to cease
when not one man left standing
the Lonely Tree alone will live
forever and ever
