about

Graceful Earth is an acknowledgement of our destruction of the Earth and a big thank you for it to keep giving even if we take and take again.

Graceful Earth est une chanson que j'ai composée en remerciement à la Terre pour tout ce qu'elle nous donne sans compter, même lorsque l'on prend encore et encore toujours plus, ainsi que la reconnaissance de la destruction que nous lui imposons.

lyrics

The murmur of the wind whistles in my ear the irreversible way of time
The fragile essence of this same wind is disturbed
By the perceptions of men with no fear
Who now know, but did not at the time

Graceful Earth, thank you for all you gave us
Graceful Earth, thank you from us all for you made us

You wear the scars of quarrels past
You embrace the heat imposed on you
The sun dries your ground as fast as generations do

Let's burn this to the ground
The sun dries your ground as you embrace the heat imposed on you

Graceful Earth, thank you for all you gave us
Graceful Earth, thank you from us all for you made us

You wear the scars of quarrels past
You embrace the heat imposed on you
The sun dries your ground as fast as generations do
