Romanian River Oak

If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound?  
 
From the forest to the stage  
A tree makes a journey  
A transformation  
And it becomes something entirely different
But certain trees
Have a special purpose  
 
The process  
From logger to manufacturer  
Through craftsman, artists and artisans  
Is a miracle at the hands of men  
And the final product  
Are drums to be heard  
From living rooms and garages  
To studios and concert halls  
All around the world  
 
But there is a story of an old tree  
An ancient tree  
That fell into the Olt River some 1500 years ago  
And the tree laid dormant  
Void of oxygen and sunshine  
Until its discovery  
 
The bog-wood oak  
Submerged in water and silt  
Rich in texture and history  
Emerged like a sacred artifact  
To be crafted into something  
That some could call  
Legendary  
 
Everything has a purpose  
A mystery, a destiny  
And this bog-wood oak  
Would be chosen by Neil  
To be part of his last tour  
And he aptly named  them
“Monsters from the Deep”  
 
So if a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound?  
I say it resonates  
With a timeless echo  
For millions and millions to hear
