Tourniquet - Descent Into The Maelstrom слова песни
[Words & Music: Ted Kirkpatrick][This song is dedicated to the animals we share this planet with and the people who work to protect them][Solo: Aaron]Is it greed or is it ignorance or is it both?As the bulldozer trashes a thousand years growthClear cutting with a clear conscienceA burning desire to burnIf a tree falls and no one`s aroundThe wildlife still hear it crashing down[Chorus]You were gone before we even knew youAnd there`s no way to ever get you backGorilla seven days old Ripped from his mothers dead armsHer hand now an ashtray souvenir for a tourist`s charms[Chorus]Will I join the ranks of the photo galleryIt may be the only way left to see meThousand acres a dayBurning it all awayExtinction - the price to payA ton of rhino, a pound of hornThe Javan one cursed - the wheels of greed are bornMedicinal myth, smuggled to Hong-KongAncient superstition - reality gone wrong[Chorus]I joined the ranks of the photo gallery Its the only way left to ever see meYou were gone before we even knew youAnd there`s no way to ever get you backThe greatest land animal killed for a foot of ivoryWill your children live to see oneOr witness decimation by tyrannyPassenger pigeons blackened the skyNever a chance we would say goodbyeOh how I wish I could see one fly[Chorus]You were gone before we even knew youAnd there`s no way to ever get you back American symbol of freedom and powerOnly for target practice by the hourBuffalo sat on the brink of no more[Chorus]Will I join the ranks of the photo gallery? It may be the only way left to ever see me
