Earth Dies Screaming

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

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

Despite all odds we must defend our land.

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