Kansas - Death Of Mother Nature Suite

A song written by Kerry Livgren
Artist: Kansas
Album: Kansas
Year: 1974

Lyrics:

Every day she gets a little weaker
The beauty she once knew has come and gone
We've murdered all her sons and all her daughters
The blood is on your hands, the time has come
And now she's gonna die

We've strangled all her trees and starved her creatures
There's poison in the sea and in the air
But worst of all we've learned to live without her
We've lost the very meaning of our lives
And now she's gonna die

Once she ruled the earth with love and wisdom
But we were much too smart to live her way
With greed and lust we tried to rise above her
The ignorance of man will reach an end
'Cause now we're gonna die

here I am again, commenting on another kansas song. Pick a kansas album, ANY ALBUM, and you'll find music that will really turn you head when you really listen deeper. Modern music can't hold a candle to most of the seventies groups.

This is Steinhardt's best vocals on any Kansas song - EVER! Anyone who says that Kansas didn't have a bit of prog metal in them never heard this song...

[RDraperCSA]

Am I the only person who thinks Kansas is the most underrated band ever?

@lynn8356 There is just as much modern music that is of great lyrical quality as there was in the '70s: ALMOST NONE. The '70s/'60s'whatever decade was always full of shallow pop, and it's always been hard to find the Kansas and Simon & Garfunkels of each generation. Modern music gave us Starsailor and Vienna Teng, who were never really easy to come by.

Another great Kansas album... I consider their first 3 albums to be very underated...

Here's the thing; what got me kicked out many witch covens, Humans are a rash on the Earth. As George Calrin said, "The planet is fine. The planet is going no where. We are fucked!" We are a failed species of primate, it is done already, the Earth will heal Itself after we are gone. We, as a species, are insignificent.

They would have saved a song like this to close out their concerts, much like REO Speedwagon's "Golden Country" or Styx's "Suite Madam Blue". It just has that "crowd killer" thing. Last on the LP, and last on the minds of the fans at the show

@jurkis1 yes, pink floyd, genesis, elp, king crimson, and gentle giant say prog started in UK

The WHITE MAN was way to smart. He said fuck livin peaceful and in harmony. Let us rape and kill these niggers, spics, or anything that isn't pale lookin. If there albino kill em anyway cuz they are just pretendin to be white.
