Formed part of the third single from the album, the track addresses a range of environmental and climate issues delivered as a metaphorical letter of contrition to the mythical Gaia for the damage done to her realm.

Released through New Dawn Records

lyrics

VERSE 1

A yo the gas price is rising
Sign of the time tides hit
It’s winding and drowning eyes
Wide we found sin mountains
Crumbling count the days lounging
Burn the ozone layer the aura
As we crown kings and sheiks
Living in the profit we make
We properly take more than we need
It’s a game, that’s designed for a slave
We decline to be sane
Out of tune with the rhythm of the nature we claim
We hate to caged and mentally were aching in pain
We all need to ask Gaia pray she take it away
Save the plants and the animals
The caretakers to show us the way
Heal the sea life creatures it’s all decayed
Extinction is the chink in the chain it’s still a shame
Given paradise us humans get in way
With our ego the earth that we try to replace
Nothing ain’t sacred no more we're killing this place
With deception rejection distorting my faith
In human kind that’s now a parasite
Organised crime with those who confide
What is money when we stop honouring life
Are you here to gather up all that shines
Your earth suit and your money going to die
Here it resides forever less fortified
We’re only here for a few moments at a time
Still ghosts reside twist and cry once denied
Live poltergeist banshees who failed in their prime
Who once forgotten why we came here
Coz our liberties die as we invest in destruction
Corruption is rife
There’s a fine line between the infinite and finite
The technology we bring is pure dynamite
Destroying ourselves like 5g
As birds fall from the sky
We crucify the truth like the battered Christ

CHORUS

The humans are coming
And they ain’t got nothing to say
The beast on the planet with the eyes a blaze
Watch as the world decays
They ain’t trying to feel your pain
The humans are coming
It’s all going up in flames
They burn and refuse to change
They just wanna build cage
So we live like slaves
And wear those chains

VERSE 2

Sister Gaia I’m sending you good vibrations
You should take a stone shower kill the infestation
I know you tried love but the humans won’t take it
Said they could run free but they built their own cages
They’re turning all against you they’re nothing to play with
Just parasites now they got their own space stations
They're looking at the rest of us all of us shaking
Like a terminal disease in need of vaccination
Procrastination is exasperating when you're lacerated
For your healing nature they demonize your medicine they need to wake up
Head buried in the dark but they’re searching for saviours
Poisoning your water eliminate acres
Wiping out themselves and they call it a nation
Humans are fearful and starving in hatred
They trample on your body and they’re living as atheists
Scared of the soul that they are like Satan
Digging up your body and they use it to trade with
Fracking extracting your blood like patients
Take the same life you gave them back because it’s wasted
Your greatness,
Used to be celebrated they knew how to behave they call them ancients
Who taught them to learn from you educated
Now the ones who speak for you are decapitated
They heard your cries and we sent them spaceships
We sent them signs now it’s God they play with
They blur the lines of what you orchestrated
We’re all frustrated and they’re thoughts are dangerous
