Lyrics for Earth
Innocence was never lost Though it may have been insulted Even if the Earth forgot Her inheritance resulted In contradiction, ceremony Benediction, hallelujah There are no more accidents Living things refuse to offer Explanations of their worth We in turn avenge the Author With paranoia and prediction Exploration, competition Ceremony, inner anguish Lord I pray for us, hallelujah Oh, hallelujah Oh, hallelujah Oh, hallelujah Oh, hallelujah Run, mission, run Before we arrive Run, mission, run Before we arrive Run, nation, run Before we arrive Run, nation, run Before we arrive Run, nation, run Before we arrive Run, nation, run Before we arrive Run, nation, run Before we arrive Run, nation, run Before we arrive Run, nation, run Before we arrive Run, nation, run Before we arrive Run, nation, run Before we arrive Run, nation, run Before we arrive Run, nation, run Before we arrive Run, nation, run Before we arrive Run, nation, run Before we arrive Run, nation, run Before we arrive I see it The beauty of the Earth On my death bed But it's too late I'm such an idiot I see it The beauty of the Earth On my death bed But it's too late I'm such an idiot I see it The beauty of the Earth On my death bed I'm such an idiot
