Lyrics
A warm dry wind is all that breaks the silence,
The highways quiet scars across the land.
People lie, eyes closed, no longer dreaming,
The earth dies screaming.
Like scattered pebbles, cars lie silent waiting
Oilless engines seized by dirt and sand
Bodies hanging limp, no longer bleeding
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Your country needs you, lets strike up the band
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Despite all odds we must defend our land
Half eaten meals lie rotting on the tables
Money clutched within a boney hand
Shutters down, the banks are not receiving
The earth dies screaming
Writer(s): Terrence Oswald Wilson, Brian Travers, Jim Brown, Norman Hassan, Ali Campbell, Earl Falconer, Michael Virtue, Robin Campbell
