lyrics

The earth is shedding tears.
She cries. No one hears.
Even though the sun will wake.
It won’t change. Her tears will rain.

I listen as the howling roars.
A weeping voice, it echoes.

It’s everywhere. It’s all around.
Its agony cutting through sound.

Only the stars see her cry.
Weeping for what we’ve done with life.

Is it too late to undo?
For she cries, for me and you.

Chorus
The earth is shedding tears.
She cries. No one hears
Even though the sun will wake.
It won’t change. Her tears will rain.

Verse 2
No promises for tomorrow.
There’s nothing left but sorrow.

We’ve taken all she has to give.
We’ve taken more than we needed.

Only the stars see her cry.
Weeping for what we’ve done with life.

Is it too late to undo?
For she cries, for me and you.

Chorus
The earth is shedding tears.
She cries. No one hears
Even though the sun will wake.
It won’t change. Her tears will rain.

And the earth is on fire.
Set ablaze by our own desire.

As her world turns to red.
We can’t deny, we can’t pretend
Not to see her tearful signs.
She cries for those we’ve left behind.

Are we proud? Are we right?

Our sins in this world will resonate.
The scars we left will still be felt.
What will stand when none remain?
This is the legacy we have made.

Chorus
The earth is shedding tears.
She cries. No one hears
Even though the sun will wake.
It won’t change. Her tears will rain.
