about

There is life on this earth that is unimaginably old: individual beings that have stood and faced all that the world can throw at them – fire, storms, extremes of cold and heat, the predations of animals, drought, disease – for literally thousands of years, and somehow come out still standing. The Bristlecone Pine is the oldest of all, with individual trees reaching 4-5,000 yrs of age. Imagine: these trees have stood since before the Christian, Buddhist, Muslim or Jewish faiths were founded, since before mankind built the pyramids in Egypt. This song is based on the true story of the demise of Prometheus, oldest of all living beings: killed by one man for the sake of scientific curiosity. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus_(tree)

lyrics

For hundreds of your generations
I have stood the test of time
No storm or beast has bothered me.
Growing in both grace and wisdom
I am the stolid child of Earth
Older than Methuselah.

I am Prometheus – I am the ancient one.

Your kind was grubbing in the dirt
When first the Sunlight kissed my trunk
Secure in my mountain fastness.
I was my Mother’s favoured son
I meditated on the stars
Older than your Christ or Buddha.

I am Prometheus – I am the martyred one.
I am Prometheus, and you have killed me.

Murder! The whole world shivers…
Murder! As down bites the axe…
Horror! What have you done?
Murder! What have you done?

I am Prometheus – I am the martyred one.
I am Prometheus, and you have killed me.
