Red Continent

Red

Red continent

Everyone knows that everything’s changing

But the ancient chains of habit are light

Till they’re too heavy to be broken

Everyone can see that the land is burning

Everyone’s learning

You’ve got to fight

Or be cast out in the open

But how do you fight a fire

When you’re running for your life?

You’re running, running for your life

How do you stand your ground

Red hot embers raining down?

It’s like catching falling knives

Like catching, like catching falling knives

Red

It’s gonna be a red continentLook at our poor blackened country

Listen to the terrible quiet

You can see where the animals tried to flee

In the calamity

Here’s to our brave mother country

She never gave up the fight

You can stand where the birdsong

Rang through the trees

But how do you fight a fire (etc)

There’s only one road in

One road out of here

There’s only one road in

One road out of here

No way to climb over

No way to climb down

No way to slide under

No way to get around

It’s gonna be a red continent
