Lyrics
Echoes of The Earth
Hey you could be rich
If you just sell your soul
You could burn up the world
And you’d never be cold
If you don’t mind to see poor children go hungry
Then you could live like a king without even a care
You could live on forever
In science and dreams
With medicine to cure
If you don’t mind the animal’s screams
You could just save yourself
Well at least for a while
But I guess in the end there’s a man’s final mile
Hear the echoes of the Earth as she dies
See the crescent of the moon
Inside your eyes
Watch the stars across Orion as they bleed
Because man will always drown in his own greed
You could be safe
If you’d just give up your freedom
Be watched everyday by the state’s big surveillance
You could surrender your blood’s DNA
And they’ll keep it on file
Till they need it someday
You’ll be a number
They hold on computer
And all that you love you’ll have given away
Hear the echoes of the Earth as she dies
See the crescent of the moon
Inside your eyes
Watch the stars across Orion as they bleed
Because man will always drown in his own greed
It’s in the ignorance of violence
The futility of war
In the eyes of the soldier
Who is empty and afraid
In the stance of the fool
Who is brandishing the gun
In the hatred of the crowd
When there’s nowhere left to run
In the politics of power
And the banking of the rich
In the lies that you’re fed
And the secrets that are kept
In the words of advice
That you never chose to heed
In the whisper of the truth
That is hidden from your ears
