THE EARTH'S LAMENT #earth #war #newsong

The sky weeps ash and fire falls
The rivers scream as silence calls
The ground it shakes the pain runs deep
A living heart begins to weep

Oh fragile earth your soul does cry
Beneath the wounds where shadows lie
We tread upon your aching skin
And tear apart what lies within

The forests whisper tales of woe
Where once they stood now deserts grow
Mountains crumble oceans wail
The earth’s own breath begins to fail


Oh can’t you hear the earth’s soft plea
Her aching voice her agony
Each war we wage her body breaks
How much more pain will it now take


Oh fragile earth your soul does cry
Beneath the wounds where shadows lie
We tread upon your aching skin
And tear apart what lies within

So let us heal what we have torn
Let peace be sown where hate was born
For every life for every tree
We owe this earth her harmony
