lyrics

You faint from the heatwave. The rivers decrease as the water evaporates. The sun’s scorched the fields. The soil’s infertile. The earth’s parched and drained. Soon the grains that we feed our children will be sparse and rare. There’ll be no means to sprout them. Familiar landscapes turn black and barren and dead, all stripped down to hardpan.

These are our soils, depleted and dried up and spoiled.
This is our home, but we can’t leave it alone.

The damage has already been done. Petals burnt on the most natural gift from the sun. In a short time to come, you’ll take what you can, take it and run. Soon the grains that we feed our children will be sparse and rare. There'll be no means to sprout them. Familiar landscapes turn black and barren and dead, all stripped down to hardpan.

These are our soils, depleted and dried up and spoiled.
This is our home, but we can’t leave it alone.

I gaze up to the sky as it fills with smoke, acres of our backyards covered in soot. Evacuate your towns cause the flames are running wild. A massive wall of fire tears a hole through your scape. Creatures disappear from their homes, seeking shelter. Fighters draw more water that we can’t spare. Splashed across the now flattened dead land. Blackened, burnt-up precious land.

These are our soils, depleted and dried up and spoiled.
This is our home, but we can’t leave it alone.
