Birds Falling High
Birds Falling High...
Wanna know how I feel?
I am concerned about the way things are going
Concerned about these strange events, this new deal
Concerned about the way things are headed
But still we keep lying to ourselves
These lies kept enbedded!
Why are the birds falling?
Is this fate calling?
Is this really the new deal?
Is this is a higher power trying to talk to us?
For me it's been very obvious, this shit is really real!
But people don't wanna see the truth
And we keep on concealing these facts from our youth
This is a higher power that's trying to get through
But it gets no attention from mankind
Actin' like this shit happens everyday
The people still remain untrue
Puttin' the truth on lay-away
The verity's long overdue
This power's legendary but they keep it secondary
The haters, the non-believers, they will fall
Just because they will never hear this call
This call that keeps on calling
So like the birds, they will be falling
And they'll be reminded of their mortal sins
Disrespecting nature, our home, killing off the Mother we all share
We're killing Her slowly and we still keep on living our lives, with smiles, with grins
They're all such tangible signs...
And still they remain blind!
Rivers turned red
A natural disaster?
Not even close...
Open your eyes
And listen to your heart
Mother Earth has bled!
When the skies went open and streets turned to rivers, she wept
When hurricanes took over and oil got in the tide, She said
'Feel My pain, hear My cries'
Nobody noticed, all unread
When the Earth shook and the dirt started to glide
It was Her heart that trembled
For us Her heart trembled with all it's might
It was all ment to be
They all were warning signs
She tried to wake us up, wanted us to see
You just gotta wake yourself up and read between the lines
Kept it to myself but I see the Truth
That's why I'll never take the fall
'Cause I still got faith in me
Other people have lost it
They lost it all
My eyes are open
My mind is fully clear
If this is only the beginning
We better respect our Mother, a simple thing
We can do this or else you'll have to start living in fear
She's hot enough to melt hell
When it finally freezes over
She will really exel
When you think 'bout why we're here
We're here to take care of her
My mind is very aware
Just by thinking 'bout past times
People wished and turned to prayer
They're trying to fix this mad affair
But it's gonna be hard to do
Armed with only words you won't get through
We've got to put words into action
Actions with a new point of view
After all the crimes we committed
After all, we did Her wrong
After all is said and done
She's still willing to accepts us
She's still willing to scrape along
Ignorance, violence and anger
We, as a people
We take that strife
And all She ever asked us
Is to live as one with ourselves and with Her
Live together as one and keep on living
That's the good life
But people think they're smarter
Lying and deceiving
You could call Her a martyr
Why won't we see this calling
Isn't there any love anymore?
Why does everyone hate you Mother?
Why is it You they ignore?
Ignore Her will and try to defy?
Try to defy Her and you will see
She will reap
There will be reprecussions for all our sins
It won't come cheap
Why do you think birds are falling from the sky?
Maybe this is just how Armageddon begins
Birds fallin' down, wasn't exactly planned
That was a sign, an agressive demand
We have to pay for what we've done
How much more can we withstand?
She's just hoping everybody will finally understand
She's trying to show the world that it's all interrelated
But you're still to busy livin' disrespectfully
You're still telling Her all these lies
This is the shit your mother always hated
This is the reason why your Mother cries
