The earth in her majesty with wisdom unknowable Casts a shadow mirror to the sun Seen through the eyes of myths Old Egyptian, Native and Mayan Tell the tale of earth ages In symbol, story and iconic stone
As the earth in her majesty with wisdom unknowable Glides through space on her sacred rounds Her wild magnetic hair blows in the cosmic winds Swirling clouds, elipsing in rhythm Her blue crystal orb, The Eye of Ra, The Egyptian Sun God's magic lens Opens on hidden horizons When his iris cut by seismic waves An underworld centered by a molten iron core, The Second Sun, Mirrors the radiant one Today its dawn has come
We worship the heavens where we launch our metal moons Gazing at galaxies birthing in rainbow spheres And record star life with magnifying shields Then study fossil layered strata below Stacked naked on canyon sides That testify to sudden transformations
Now the earth chisels a line so fine We can't measure, being half-blind It marks the end of our time
Exploited and poisoned by man's violence Nature's forces aim at our destruction As the earth in her majesty with wisdom unknowable Draws untraceable fractal patterns Underneath her terrain In a nonsense pattern of catastrophe
Heated continents collide sculpting mountains In a landscape of erupting volcanoes Their giant red crater's cauldron of lava burns Down the mountain's steep sides Its inferno of plumes smoke in ash towers Where devils dance to lightning and thunder splits the air As black cloud galleys sail across the glaciers
Exploited and poisoned by man's violence Nature's forces aim at our destruction Clashing tectonic plates in subterranean wars Send shock waves across ocean floors Blasted by bombs, drilled down by miners Who rob her treasured mineral heirlooms She hemorrhages oil from ocean depths And ignites blood fire in her swollen womb Exploding blazing brews through miles of veins She scorches her skin in a reign of fire to purify her wounds Then weeps floods to drown her rotted fields and injured animals
As she glides through space on her sacred rounds In infinite circles invoking the divine The Cherokee medicine wheel spins earth's circumference As masked dancers sing in their ring of life The terrible roar of the earth's spinning spokes Echoes the song of their genocide And coming time of mysterious prophecy
When cycles in Mayan's solar sphere long count calendar End their tale in two thousand and twelve In a shadow mirror reflected two one zero two Second One Sun Second When the inner sun scorches the land And oceans claim the earth "The first shall be last and the last shall be first."
