Skyclad - Our Dying Island слова песни

I woke from my daydream--discovered my nightmare was real,At the altar of progress to gods of ambition we kneel,Our database deities--they cannot save us,Microchip miracles only enslave us.The high priests of high finance claim that their actions are wise--But our planet still dies. . .It dies for the want of more people who care `bout the poisons wepump in the seas and the air,Yet blissfully ignorant--still unaware,We strive for a future entwined with despair.You say, "Why waste concern on the rivers and trees--they belong tomankind to exploit as we please?"Face up to the fact that mankind`s a disease--irrelevant microbeswith colour T.V.s.Tell me just what kind of fools would laugh and stare death in the face?Only to worst kind of fools (like you and I--the human race).If we laugh for long enough it could well be our epitaph,Mother Earth will laugh the loudest--She will have the final laugh.BUT WAIT--the time has come to realise,BELIEVE--the truth our eyes will not disguise.SPEAK OUT--to say, "It`s no concern of mine,"DECEIVED--is to be party to the crime.We all toe the line and swallow the lies--and our island dies.Let computers dictate our emotions--determine the way we shouldfeel.Turn our backs to the future now our days are numbered,And where will we run to when this world is plundered?Your conscience a whisper drowned out when your avarice cries--And humanity dies. . .Without hot winds or tower blocks crashing--no silver-lined mushroomclouds herald man`s passing,From the Garden of Eden--into death everlasting,Such a high price to pay for what we took without asking.Stupidity`s legacy is passed down the years--as our knowledgeincreases dispelling the fearsThat the ghosts of the past may again reappear--as the dawn of thesilent apocalypse nears.Tell me just what kind of fools would laugh and stare death in theface?Only the worst kind of fools (like you and I--the human race).If we laugh for long enough it could well be our epitaph,Mother Earth will laugh the loudest--She will have the final laugh.(The advent of insanity--no future for humanity.You pander to your vanity--it blinds you to reality.In temples of indifference we hail the gods of ignorance,And sacrifice our final chance--behold the death of innocence.)BUT WAIT--the end is near so we must choose,BELIEVE--that we have everything to lose.SPEAK OUT--if empty words are all we`re worth,DECEIVED--it is the end for Mother Earth.We all toe the line and swallow the lies--and our island dies.If we think the world is our oyster we`ll surely choke on the pearl,It is ours for a while to respect not defile--but minds drunk withpower still whirl.The lands we dispute are not ours to pollute--neither the air thatwe breathe,But how will we ever see reason when we can`t see the wood for the trees.Now we hold the future in the palm of our hand--place your faithIn `Rainbow Warriors` not castles of sand,The hourglass is empty time is slipping away--so prepare yourexcuses for the Judgement Day.Court is now in session--Mother Nature presides,The jury are our children--whose futures we`ve denied.The evidence conclusive--we have no alibi,The victim was our planet--the verdict: MATRICIDE.BUT WAIT--the time has come to realise,BELIEVE--the truth our eyes will not disguise.SPEAK OUT--to say, "It`s no concern of mine,"DECEIVED--is to be party to the crime.BUT WAIT--the end is near so we must choose,BELIEVE--that we have everything to lose.SPEAK OUT--if empty words are all we`re worth,DECEIVED--it is the end for Mother Earth.
