LISTEN FOR THE SCREAMS


Listen! can't you hear the unmistakable crackling of screams
From mountain range to the mountain peaks there are crys
Feel each one, the spirit echoing in anger, disbelief and fear
Man once again is hard at greed, stealing and creating murder

Pine, cedar, oak, redwood, mahogany no longer stand guard
Centuries protecting Mother earth from the tempest of erosion
The forest screams out into the broken silence as another falls
Listen to her scream as she crashes among-st mother's history

I hear the spirits of all Mother's creatures calling out for help
Acres, miles upon miles of living forests die and vanish daily
I can see the horror and I weep as their life force is massacred
Relentlessly killing Mother earth, her children, our very own

My heart aches as it beats in horror witnessing the destruction
Watching tree after tree being dragged across Mother's face
Creating a scared moonscape of vanishing living organisms
Witness man's killing fields, lifeless and barren for generations

Listen! can't you hear the last of nature's screams for salvation
Decades of death yet to be made ware of, hear their screams
Once the cedar, oak, redwood, mahogany stood in plenty array
 Vanishing from the face of earth, their screams are but echoes

The creature known as man is the instrument of annihilation
Killing the forests, polluting the waters and greedy for more...
Murdering every known species around the world over time
 Finally destroying themselves in mass annihilation's of stupidity!
