about

A song about the destruction that industry and big business bring to nature, primarily in regards to the clear-cutting of forests for the purpose of property development.

lyrics

The time has come for deciduous embers
The time is now for an evergreen blaze
Drench the boughs and the branches with fire
To the forest floor the trees we raze

Stain the land with the ashes of aspen
The orange waves of slaughtered pine
Turn the bark black with searing heat
The charge paid to be industrialized

The call comes down for the development
Of property prices, tax the impoverished
Wash away blockades for unnatural builds
Cubes in the wasteland, symmetrically ominous

I see the trees of our fatherland
The darkness that falls over every man
Burn away the smoke to watch a species fall
Take away the pain is Mother Nature's call

Burn the wooden lands
Destroyed with corporate hands
Make way for the revolution
Lifeblood
Big brother demands

Burn the wooden lands
Destroyed with corporate hands
Make way for the revolution
Lifeblood
Big brother demands

The call comes down for the development
Of property prices, tax the impoverished
Wash away blockades for unnatural builds
Cubes in the wasteland, symmetrically ominous

I see the trees of our fatherland
The darkness that falls over every man
Burn away the smoke to watch a species fall
Take away the pain is Mother Nature's call

Suffering, murdering, smothering, cindering
Arsonist, masochist, narcissist, anarchist
Procreate, consummate, generate, decimate
Industry, security, virginity, impunity

Suffering, murdering, smothering, cindering
Arsonist, masochist, narcissist, anarchist
Procreate, consummate, generate, decimate
Industry, security, virginity, impunity

Burn the wooden lands
Destroyed with corporate hands
Make way for the revolution
Lifeblood
Big brother demands

Burn the wooden lands
Destroyed with corporate hands
Make way for the revolution
Lifeblood
Big brother demands
