lyrics

I cut you down so I can read,
We gather round the fire in your belly.
Learn how we made your people bleed,
My eyes burn like the fire you are keeping.

All my friends are working for free,
To save their mother
There won't be another.
Just trying to live naturally,
I seek the Forest Language
In the Autumn.

We cut open the Lungs of the Land.
Looking for fragments of golden air.

After the fire we could not breathe,
After the fire we lived in denial.
Share broken pictures on a screen,
Get into bed and hide under the covers.

Against the crystal magic sky,
You know the one that bleeds from blue to orange.
They say the blood will never dry,
I wonder why our eyes are closed to wonder.

Protectors cut down with the trees,
Why are we scared of these primal connections?
Trying to find community,
But cut adrift I float into tomorrow.

We cut open the Lungs of the Land.
Looking for fragments of golden air.

Truth is like a waterfall,
Sweeps me along an image of forgiveness.
Highest heavens form a pool,
You drink the water then you will remember.

Fill my room with pretty flowers:
Orchid Power.

We cut open the Lungs of the Land.
Looking for fragments of golden air.
