Melancholy Lyrics

my mother the cow
who still feeds me now
is being tortured
her son the bull
who the fields should plough
is being slaughtered
the human child in the womb who is never born for being unwanted

melancholy in the age of kali
melancholy in the age of
kali kali kali
my mother, the earth, man treats like dirt,
her resources being exhausted
ant-like astronauts, of the human race,
scratch and scar the moon's beautiful face
my brother, the sun, he still shines on
he'll continue to shine for some time to come

melancholy in the age of kali
melancholy in the age of kali, kali, kali
lamentation lamentation lamentation
lamentation lamentation lamentation
lamentation lamentation lamentation

heavenly father still waters the grains
seems like tears fall as it rains
little boy blue come blow on your horn
the sheeps in the meadow the cows in the corn
a sweet friend of mine
from an ancient nursery rhyme
from a distant land once upon a time
melancholy in the age of kali
melancholy in the age of kali, kali, kali
