Earth Lyrics
Innocence was never lost
Though it may have been insulted
Even if the Earth forgot
Her inheritance resulted
In contradiction, ceremony
Benediction, hallelujah
There are no more accidents
Living things refuse to offer
Explanations of their worth
We in turn avenge the Author
With paranoia and prediction
Exploration, competition
Ceremony, inner anguish
Lord I pray for us, hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
I see it
The beauty of the earth
On my death bed
But it's too late
I'm such an idiot
I see it
The beauty of the earth
On my death bed
But it's too late
I'm such an idiot
I see it
The beauty of the earth
On my death bed
I'm such an idiot
Though it may have been insulted
Even if the Earth forgot
Her inheritance resulted
In contradiction, ceremony
Benediction, hallelujah
Living things refuse to offer
Explanations of their worth
We in turn avenge the Author
With paranoia and prediction
Exploration, competition
Ceremony, inner anguish
Lord I pray for us, hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
Run, mission, run

Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
The beauty of the earth
On my death bed
But it's too late
I'm such an idiot
The beauty of the earth
On my death bed
But it's too late
I'm such an idiot
The beauty of the earth
On my death bed
I'm such an idiot

I have three things to say about this:
1) as usual, it's a fantastic piece of music. 2) I think he's speaking of the fact that the earth sits apart from us because of the way we separate ourselves through being competitive and not respecting the planet. 3) at the end, it seems like he is playing out the scene of someone, at the end of his life, that sees what is really important. That's why he calls himself an idiot.
Again, A fantastic piece of music and part of a wonderful suite.
