Another dawn has broken ‘neath the morning sky

Burning rays of sunlight pierce the valley open wide

Sculpting her body with the cosmic winds

There can be no other way, let the festival begin

Dheghom

Dheghom

Dheghom

Lifeblood flows like wine across the desert sands

As the serpentine shapes are carved into untouched land

From the crest she watches as her children are reborn

The towers are at last erected to mark the coming storm

Dheghom

Dheghom

Dheghom

The offspring gather ‘round to feed upon her flesh

Golden nectar pours from every wound the blades caress

The nature of impermanence is made perfectly clear

Unyielding still the darkness comes, the children show no fear

Mother, won't you help us

How sweetly there you lie

Mother, won't you help us

It cannot be denied

Mother, won't you help us

Can't bear to see you cry

Mother, won't you help us

We don't want to die

Dheghom

Dheghom

Dheghom

Mother Earth

Don't look back, my sweet

Don't turn back now, please

Don't come back for me

The tides are changing

Can't you see them

Don't come back for me

Just keep on moving

You'll make it if you try

Or maybe you'll just die

Like me

Mother, won't you help us

How sweetly there you lie

Mother, won't you help us

It cannot be denied

Mother, won't you help us

Can't bear to see you cry

Mother, won't you help us

We don't want to die

Don't look back, my sweet

Don't turn back now, please

Don't come back for me

The tides are changing

Can't you see them

Don't come back for me

Just keep on moving

You'll make it if you try

Or maybe you'll just die

Like me
