A warm dry wind
is all that breaks
the silence
The highway's
quiet scars
across the land
People lie,
eyes closed,
no longer dreaming
The earth
dies screaming
The earth
dies screaming
The earth
dies screaming
Your country
needs you,
let's strike up
the band
The earth
dies screaming
The earth
dies screaming
Despite all odds
we must defend
our land
Like scattered
pebbles,
cars lie silent
waiting
Oil-less engines
seized by dirt
and sand
Bodies hanging limp
No longer bleeding
The earth
dies screaming
The earth
dies screaming
The earth
dies screaming
Your country
needs you,
let's strike up
the band
The earth
dies screaming
The earth
dies screaming
Despite all odds
we must defend
our land
Half eaten meals
lie rotting on
the tables
Money clutched
within a
boney hand
Shutters down,
the banks are
not receiving
The earth
dies screaming
The earth
dies screaming
The earth
dies screaming
Your country
needs you,
let's strike up
the band
The earth
dies screaming
The earth
dies screaming
Despite all odds
we must defend
our land
