lyrics

IS THIS WHAT WE MEANT?

The man on the cross turned his head away
He can't look at it anymore
We can't turn back the clock
Dogs without muzzles
Is this what we meant ?
Is this our race to the stars ?
I look behind the day before
Nothing good was going on
Ships that used to move on gracefully
Have torn sails right now
On the cracked bed of the Aral sea
Big city lights like bloodshot eyes
Attract moths from all over the world
New election, new hopes
Old promises, the same methods
When they pat your back
You feel you're a better man
There must be a way out
Talks at a card table finished fast
As we ran short of snacks
Hard weapon enters the game
We'll fight them or we'll be defeated
Is it really going to be the same story again ?
When mighty vessels didn't come back on time
Whisper of greed from the past
Wilful deception chases us
You can talk less and less
The child that was born
Has more and more defects

The Screaming Earth band asks uncomfortable questions. Their music doesn’t tell you how to live, but makes you think about it. They reveal what has been uncomfortable for a long time. What is happening to the world and people ? Where are we heading ? Is our time limited ? Their words are the scream of the whole planet. You might call them dreamers but for sure they are not the only ones ! ... more
