lyrics

We were standing tall like the mountains; as heavy as the seas
There's no youth from the fountain
Prosperity will bleed everything she had
It's in all of our faces
Flooding the interstitial spaces
There's no fountain of youth
Lies beget lies
There is only one truth

Humanity is a cancer
We plague this Earth with conveniences and commodities
She has but one answer

Her eyes roll back
She was tried and true

We turned our backs when she was black and blue
Is this how we thank the Earth, with domestic abuse?
We act as though our children won't inherit the Earth
Our blood will inherit the Earth

Her eyes roll back
She was tried and true
She won't come back (from the dead)
The blood is on our hands (we can't go back)

Once the soil is dry
And the oceans rise
We will have no home
What was the price?

Inherit the Earth
