APOCALYPSE
The sky grows bright and ye-e-et is dark
The hills and vales are bare and stark
The trees like carbon paper




The sea billows into vapour




No more hospitality




To living beings like you and me




With our imperative desires, our
Appetites for fuel & fire




Then is the reckoning for our lust




Then we will become like dust




CHORUS
Oh hear the warning, see the warning, The graphs tell it all




Will we respond to a new dawning? Will we heed the call?




The bare teeth wolves they shrie-ie-iek and howl
In their collars and ties they prowl




The monkey on his oil-rich ranch




Leaps in glee from branch to branch
The leeches try to be so nice




They suck your blood as they give advice
Two by two the animals board
Leaving behind the stranded hoard




And so the ark of privilege




Sets sail to save the ri-i-ich

CHORUS
Oh hear the warning, see the warning, The graphs tell it all




Will we respond to a new dawning? Will we heed the call?




chorus




Everyone wants a house with lots more room
They don't see ahead the road to doom
They want to be seen on the rise
They don't hear the billion cries




The cutting just goes on




The forests very soon are gone
The CO2 gets more and more




The sea rises at every shore, then
Runaway greenhouse takes effect




Our planet Earth is wre-e-ecked




Oh hear the warning, see the warning, The graphs tell it all




Will we respond to a new dawning? Will we heed the call?




CHORUS repeat to fade
