Time itself has swayed

For those mighty stand in fear

Now man is but a slave

To his own filthy lies

Dark weeds and mortal flesh

Have grown into one

The ancient roots have vanished

And its branches all dried on the ground

The serpent from below

Who fed upon the roots

Has been fed man’s poison

He has consumed it for some time

The old dragon shakes the earth

And splits the land in two

He rises up and sees the tree

Its ashes turn to vapour
