lyrics

Would our doors and our hardwood floors keep us all from sleep
Would we burn our instruments if trees could scream
Would the new golden plains of Brazil infect all of our dreams
In a picturesque life where horizons fall under the scream of trees

Now scram run scatter
The cocoa crop is shattered
But it's dusted off and shelved for the lowest bidder
We throw 'round these facts
Like they're hands against the axe
As if mother natures maladies
Could be cured by our meodies

And we carve a life out of the rainfall
Will we wonder why the sky falls down when we usurp its walls
We can strive for peace before the ruin comes
Or burn the track and claim the race is won
Bless our bark, curse us root and branch

Those who burn their beds for warmth will sleep cold on the floor
Those who gnaw their legs for meat will crawl for ever more
We who melt the land for greed will always seek the shore
Those who sow the wind shall reap the storm

When a tree falls down, does it make a sound
If the person there to hear it was the one who cut it down?
Did the grey wolf cry for its daughter?
Did the hunter weep when confronted with the slaughter?
We're tumbling through the air
Wings broken unaware
When the ground rushes up and we fail to fly
There will be so fucking many who would swear that we'd survive

And we carve a life out of the rainfall
Will we wonder why the sky falls down when we usurp its walls
We can strive for peace before the ruin comes
Or burn the track and claim the race is won
Bless our bark, curse us root and branch

Those who hoard and cannot share will only end up poor
Those who turn their friends away no warmth upon their doors
Those who stand upon their pride cannot endure the scorn
Those who sow the wind shall reap the storm

Those who let their children play with wolves shall surely mourn
Those who set their sights on crowns should surely stay as pawns
The roses that once smelt so sweet have now revealed their thorns
Those who sow the wind shall reap the storm
