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
