I'm a hollow tree   Where people take shelter   When the war is over   They'll cut me down   My mind is weak and   My blood is floating slowly   The winter was cold this year      Expanding my kingdom   Feet by feet   I carry the trace of a fire so huge   My friends they took   To build up their fleet   I carry the trace of a fire      It's easy to break   It's easy to shake   And the hollow tree is fragile   When the crown is bursting into leaves   It's easy to break   It's easy to shake   And the hollow tree is tired   When the vein of water's empty      I'm a lifeless oak   Singing in the stormy winter   When the springtime comes   My branches crack   My life is long and   My crown is rising proudly   Towards the stars at night I climb      Expanding my kingdom   Feet by feet   I carry the trace of a fire so huge   My friends they took   To build up their fleet   I carry the trace of a fire      It's easy to break   It's easy to shake   And the hollow tree is fragile   When the crown is bursting into leaves   It's easy to break   It's easy to shake   And the hollow tree is tired   When the vein of water's empty
