Tuatara — Hundred Years

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was old when the great ones fell
I was old when the ice came down
I keep a third eye on the sky
and I take a hundred years to turn around

[Chorus]
A hundred years
I'm in no hurry
everything that rushed me
I have buried

[Verse 2]
Slow blood, cold stone, long breath
I watched whole kingdoms come and go
you measure life in summers
I measure it in slow

[Bridge]
The dinosaurs are stories now
the empires, names on stone
and I am still here, breathing slow —
the last of my line, alone, at home

[Outro]
(low) … a hundred years …
