lyrics

Our Earth
She turns
She spins and churns
Fractured
Fragile
Perfect clockwork
The Earth we all take for granted
Just how would you react if all you loved was gone?

History tells us all stories of great wars
Empires built upon the ashes of the slain
Are we so much different in the modern age?
Corruption, ignorance and hatred all still reign

Consequence ignored as we enslave sentient beings
Rape the precious lands and pollute the air and seas

Suddenly the atomic clocks drop right out of sync
For reasons no one can begin to explain
Earth’s rotation slightly slows upon her axis
Our necks arched upwards as planes fall from the sky

Hope wains within us
Terror builds inside us

Our alleged civilised society begins to crumble
Until it only exists as memories
Did we ever truly believe this world was ours to take?
Our ownership is just a delusion

Hear the thunders from the deep
Earth
Old Earth
She rumbles and awakes

Our Earth
She turns
She tears and burns
All part of her dance with the stars
Our hopes and dreams
Our faith and prayers
Still will not save us from our fate
A bleak new dawn
Awaits us all
