Burned by the Fire We Make
And when Man gained dominionover land and the oceanshe began to harm the planetwith his asphalt and his toxinsand to lay the forest bareand to poison even the airand he killed every beastand taught the seas how to bleedBurned by the fire we make,what a shameThen the winds gave inand the rain knew no seasonand the sun came to beaton a land of sand and diseasesand when God looked downon the earth and saw it was brokenthen the tears of God fell downthrough a hole in the ozoneBurned by the fire we makewhat a shameThis is the nature of the human raceto kill off anything that gets in our waypoor Mother Earth we disfigured her faceMan is the maker of his own disgraceBurned by the fire we makewhat a shame
