The Drowning World

The earth is burning before our eyes A sea of disaster limits our days As the waters continue to rise As you look to the western skies It is aglow with an angry blaze The earth is burning before our eyes Tilling the field, covered in flies Fighting the heat of the sun’s rays As the waters continue to rise Politicians put on a disguise Searching for an ounce of praise The earth is burning before our eyes They say the science is full of lies That everyone is caught up in a craze As the waters continue to rise The hands of time keep turning clockwise As the world sticks to its ways The earth is burning before our eyes As the waters continue to rise
