The Earth Dies Screaming Lyrics

A warm dry wind is all that breaks the silence,
The highways quiet scars across the land.
People lie, eyes closed, no longer dreaming,
The earth dies screaming.

Like scattered pebbles, cars lie silent waiting,
Oilless engines seized by dirt and sand.
Bodies hanging limp, no longer bleeding,
The earth dies screaming.

The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Your country needs you, lets strike up the band.

The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Despite all odds we must defend our land.

Half eaten meals lie rotting on the tables,
Money clutched within a boney hand.
Shutters down, the banks are not receiving,
The earth dies screaming.

This page seems to be slightly dormant. This song is eerily peaceful. I think at the time this song was written, the end did seem nigh. Things always seem to progress, but then along with it so does further threats. I like this song. Relaxes me.

I was always very fascinated by this song even as a young child of six in 1990. I never really knew why. Seems quite topical at present, Ukraine have been at war with Russia for almost 2 weeks and I’m trying to convince myself the Earth won’t die screaming
