9 BSE
I did roam around that world so far
Conducting tests and walking on the ice fields
I dove down to Alexandria’s streets
Years after the meltdown
One day she grabbed my arm and said to me
‘If you stay you’ll die here too, and the kids need you
So leave’
What could I do?
She was the world to me
On the day that I heard her cry
I think I made up my mind, ooh
Darkness reigned for years so long
Shockwaves came, the windows rattled in the house
Wretched earth, the wars of men obliterated the blue from your face
And she said, ‘With you the kids will grow well
The horns so loud
Please go away now
They won’t wait they’ve set the date, ooh’
And so I left
Now we are pieces of Earth we are
Hovering in spacetime, space and time
Terra
Tears our hearts
Stone and fire
Terra
Reefs and ice
Rain and sand
Terra
Plains and tides
Earth we are
Terra
Terra
