The Earth Dies Screaming

A warm dry wind is all that breaks the silence
The highways quiet scars across the land
People lie, eyes closed, no longer dreaming
The earth dies screaming
Like scattered pebbles, cars lie silent waiting
Oilless 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, lets 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
