《Globus Hystericus》歌词

[00:03:41] What says the

[00:03:41] Tree to his friends the

[00:03:41] Rocks When he lives and breathes they sit and mock

[00:03:41] And he grows strong for centuries long but one he dies and begins to rot “

[00:03:41] We will last intact this way

[00:03:41] And you my friend will soon decay ” “

[00:03:41] But I can breathe am commensal the shade the fruits the nests on bough

[00:03:41] And if with this my time finite

[00:03:41] I'm glad to have spent it doing right ”

[00:03:41] But Rocks prefer to simply sit

[00:03:41] To gain none lost none just exist

[00:03:41] But nary should an ocean rise they'd become sand and disappear with the tides

[00:03:41] When trees ignite a cyclical life from plant to animal to

[00:03:41] Earth and back whom even when their roots are ploughed have left exponential impact

[00:03:41] And so the greedy human kind to conquer trees tall mountains high erects gigantic splinters of steel that shame forests make mountains to kneel

[00:03:41] And progress spreads like moss on a stone

[00:03:41] Evolution dictates that men are prone to outdo those that came before “

[00:03:41] You see We'll last forever more ”

[00:03:41] We improve what nature made

[00:03:41] We'll challenge mountains transplant lakes

[00:03:41] There is no confirmed master plan

[00:03:41] We do it just because we can

[00:03:41] But foolish is the one who complacently thinks himself

[00:03:41] King because when

[00:03:41] Time erodes the past what remains are

[00:03:41] Nature's things

[00:03:41] Quite Shakespearean duals those between parent and offspring are

[00:03:41] As Chronos devours his

[00:03:41] Son Gaia to mankind so starts

[00:03:41] Metal rusts cement crumbles

[00:03:41] To err is human not divine

[00:03:41] Prayers are so intently mumbled when proud man is forces to decline

[00:03:41] Steel concrete technology may stand intact for centuries but faces with wind or flood or quake like toys will crumble bend and break

[00:03:41] I say with actions what you do with words

[00:03:41] For we're the moss the

[00:03:41] Earth the stone so let us do as did the

[00:03:41] Tree For silence will long be ignored and action recognized quickly

[00:03:41] We won't outlive our generation but our impact surely will

[00:03:41] This the

[00:03:41] Rocks' humiliation when they witness we are still alive in what we've left for others like

[00:03:41] Nature gives so selflessly

[00:03:41] So pay respect to out true

[00:03:41] Mother and take your rank amongst the

[00:03:41] Trees
