about

Nature and Man used to be one.

Now they stand in fierce opposition of one another; surely a poignant sentiment to be sure.

lyrics

The World begins to weep,
The ground starts to shake beneath my feet.
I don't know what it's fighting for,
It could be the endless war.

And if, we could start it over again,
Back to when the trees were as good as men.
The neglected leaves hear our cry,
Underneath the tree at which we lie.

At which we lie.

The bark begins to fray,
It has no intention to stay.
It feels the Earth's cracking seems,
All it wants to do is be free.

And if, we could start it over again,
Back to when the trees were as good as men.
The neglected leaves hear our cry,
Underneath the tree at which we lie.

At which we lie.
