lyrics

POISON THE EARTH
And even if you'll never be right
And even if you'll never be wrong
And even if you'll never take lonely places all alone
I do not think of anywhere I'd stay
Where the people around me treated me the way they treated you that day
And even if you'll never be right
And even if you'll never be gone
And even if you'll never take flight along a lonely path again
And even if they the way they haunted you
Will haunt their dreams alone
And even if they couldn't even see how you had gone
It's all to me the same
It's all to me the way it should have been from day one to this day
And even if the skies are gone
And even if there's no stars to shine upon your head and even if you wind up dead alone too soon
And even if the grave they put you in won't hold your spirit down
And even if the hunger fades from you while you hang around there
I know even if the sun don't shine
Even if the wind won't blow
Even if the grass won't grow no-more, upon the place you lay
It'll only be because you've poisoned the earth
You lay in, just like you poisoned the space that you took up above the ground
Now that you're down, poison the soil
Poison the greenest leaves that grow
Poison the roots, and poison the earth
Now that you've gone back to whence you came from
Poison the ground you walked upon this life.
