Ancient Song

Spirits of the forest,
Of water, earth and sky.
Can you hear their ancient cry?

Not of the enslaved,
But the wild and strong.
Have you heard their ancient song?

It spoke of a future,
Where things go very wrong.
An end to their ancient song.

The path has now been cleared,
The life that was has died,
And so has their ancient cry.

For when the prophets of profit,
Built mansions to the clouds....

The song was....
Heard no more, seen no more
Progress in a destructive form!
Heard no more, seen no more
Mankind is an intrusive force!

Concrete jungles,
The roar of the machine,
The power of industry.

They prayed unto the market,
“Cure all that is wrong”,
And ignored the ancient song.

They squandered it daily,
They used it all too fast,
And progress couldn't last.

Man will find a way,
For man can do no wrong.
Have you heard their ancient song?

And so the prophets of profit,
Built their mansions to the clouds....

And now are....

Heard no more, seen no more
Progress in a destructive form!
Heard no more, seen no more
A lifeless land, an empty core,
Progress in a destructive form!
A silent world and nothing more!
