Sky Above Me, Soil Below
Sky above me soil below
Yet everything between is sorrow
Every day and each tomorrow
Bleeding out with more to follow
Endless is the suffering
Often no happy ending
Sometimes a few flickers of hope
In a world that cannot cope
With the power
It's been given by their Gods
A humanity lost into the unknown
When the polluting seed is sown
And hate and fear is grown
Into the human DNA
And brings about earth's decay
And it's something we cannot run away from
We are creating our own storm
Of self destruction and self extinction
We are not covering ourselves in distinction
We need to rethink out position
If we wish to survive.
