Cover art for Morter lyrics by Skinny Puppy

the samples "If we lost an eye we would be sad and so the mother too is sad and she'll end and the world ends", "the great mother too has a mouth eyes and ears" "digging, they're digging", "we work to take care of the world" are from the documentary "From The Heart of the World: The Elder Brother's Warning" about one of the few remaining pre-columbian indigenous american tribes.

400 years after the invasion of the conquistadors, the kongui sent down a messenger. their message to the modern world is "the world doesn’t have to end; it could go on, but unless we stop violating the earth and nature, depleting The Great Mother of her material energy, her organs, her vitality; unless people stop working against the Great Mother, the world will not last"... i think this song is about that. like monks preserving the roman knowledge during the dark ages, the kogui have come down to restore sanity.

autoerratica, thank you for the source on those samples. The phrase about the mother being sad has a way of sticking in the mind, and I couldn't track it down on my own.
