We Hear The Earth Cry
Out In Pain
Roger Bloor
We hear the earth cry out in pain from scars that will not heal.
We see the floods and hurricanes flash fires – polluted seas.
We hear the earth cry out again can you not hear our rage?
The planet’s blood is on your hands and will not wash away.
We hear the earth recount your crimes your wanton ecocide.
She gave you water, wind and sun
An endless source of power.
You took her coal her gas her oil and raped the geosphere.
The planet’s blood is on your hands but who will pay the price.
No More Oil
Dave Mitchell
No more oil, and no more coal or gas, the Earth cries out in pain
We must stop the use of fossil fuels, it's totally insane.
Politicians they are silent, industry is on a roll,
So it's business as usual that's gonna take its toll.
No more oil, and no more coal or gas, the Earth cries out in pain
We must stop the use of fossil fuels, it's totally insane.
When the people see the madness, when they call for change to come,
Then perhaps we can turn the tide, and save the world for some
No more oil, and no more coal or gas, the Earth cries out in pain
We must stop the use of fossil fuels, it's totally insane.
