Dead inside, dry and cracked
Water and flower cannot contact
Fire burns the petal away
Now it’s time for the bees to pay
Dead inside, dry and cracked
The earth is having a panic attack
Fire burns the world away
Who told the devil it was time to play?
The earth’s best-kept burden
Heaving and wheezing to spit out the vermin
In pain, in pain, crying in pain
Crying, crying, the tears, the rain
A nation in chains
In the womb of the earth
In the dead, dry, cracked womb of earth
A nation in chains
Water consumes, flowers bloom
And then its birth
