Old World Lyrics


Mankind tries to own the world

The earth is though

Reminiscent of savage times

We like rough

Endless rows of trees alongside roads

Of equal age

Rectangles of heath and shrub

It’s all manmade

Submission to the flow of life is gone

Impossible

Tie the earth down – lights and roads and fence

And she will drown

The old world is dying. It now unstoppably sinks through our trembling fingers like sand dried in the sun. For we have dug to deep.

Reappreciate endless skies

Where rivers roam

Savage world in ancient times

Where I belong

Mountain land where no man dwells

Is almost gone

Evergreen the earth no more

Now she has drowned

The world is dead, I clench my fist

For what once was, and I resist

To not accept that humans failed

We do not learn we dig to deep
