Lyrics
Earth Shall Not Lament Us
Copyright © 2025 David Baumgarten
Lyrics:
In the quiet before the storm, denial dances, A subtle rhythm under the panic of the age. Humanity glances, away from its reflection, Embracing the comfort of oblivion's cage.
Decades shouted warnings we chose to ignore, Adorning the disaster with trivial fixes and superfluous lore. Awareness became a mask, not a cure, We are past saving shores unpure.
In the heartbeat of denial, the world keeps turning 'round, Blind to the flames around us that keep burning down. It's not about the Earth we so claim to adore, It's about facing the collapse at our core.
Civilization, a pulsing hub of ceaseless take, Draws life from soil, with every breath we forsake. The oceans stew in our sins, warmth without end, Our grand designs on nature's laws we can't bend.
Feedback loops spin a cruel poetry, A chain of disasters from sea to once-frozen sea. Methane breathes out from the ancient ice, As we march to the drum of our own demise.
In the heartbeat of denial, the world keeps turning 'round, Blind to the flames around us that keep burning down. It's not about the Earth we so claim to adore, It's about facing the collapse at our core.
Talk of solutions like magical spells, Fragile hopes shatter, as the real truth tells. Global unity a dream, technology just a crutch, Change too steep a price, our measures not enough.
Time ticks a rhythm, of relentless decay, Five years, maybe ten, then we're out of our days. The dance of destruction, no longer a choice, In the silence that follows, only the truth has a voice.
Survival's a myth in this gamble of fates, Amidst the ruins, a new narrative awaits. Can wisdom rise from the ashes of the few reborn? Mother Earth shall surely not lament us if, we're, not!
