This song is not for anyone. recorded in 1997 on a four-track reel-to-reel tape machine in my apartment. DEAD EARTH continues the science fiction dark fantasy story called THE FOREST BEYOND I had written the previous year. DEAD EARTH is a rather bleak concept, revelling in the downfall of humanity and the rise of the COLD NEW WORLD.
lyrics
DEAD EARTH
Shadow and cinder
upon the smoldering plain
Trees lie withered
across the darkened terrain
Lost now your cities
Crumbled and blown away
Broken now your spirit
No one She forgave
No god with a cold sun
the air has boiled away
Death to humans
Sing to me
for the Earth
She is dead
forevermore
