Prologue (spoken, not sung)

Balanced between the powers
Of fire and ice
Rests the world we call home
Where fauna tread, swim and fly

It is the element of earth
After which we call home
As a fish does with ocean
And a bird does with sky

They say the sea is calm
And that air is peaceful
But the land is difficult
Solid, limiting and dry

We'd fought for survival
At the cost of our grace
Yet with the earth now mastered
Our actions still lie


Chorus

Everybody knows
We're the lowest of lows
Digging up holes
Where the green grass grows
Ripping and a thrashing
And a stripping and a trashing
The land

Curious immortals
Open up great portals
Streaming down the light
Shining way too bright
Blinding us with something
We could hardly ever
Understand

In desire we upset
In deciding we regret
In loving we beget
In fearing we forget
Taunted by temptation
Sinning with sensation
Praying to be born again

Our college of geoglogy
And cottage of technology
Abusing our apology
For knowledge till the end
Cursed from birth
With little worth
We're creatures of the Earth
