Front Lines Songtext
von Aphrodesia

Two by two in four by fours
They come to greet the forest floor
Open wide they tell her quick
Concrete falls and starts to stick

(Get away from her)
(Stay away, stay away)
(Get away)

Cities stretch, cancer grows
Veins run deep, her skin turns cold
Past the roads that stretch and climb
Somewhere in here is our front line

(Get away from her)
(Get away, get away)
(Stay away)


(Progression, destruction)
In the end she will swallow you again she will
(Progression, destruction)
In the end she will swallow you again she will
(Progression, destruction)
In the end she will swallow you again she will, she will
(Progression, destruction)
In the end she will swallow you again she will
(Progression, destruction)
In the end she will swallow you again she will
(Progression, destruction)
In the end she will swallow you again she will
(Progression, destruction)
In the end she will swallow you again she will
(Progression, destruction)
In the end she will swallow you again she will

Somewhere beyond the bulldozed rows
The fallen giants lying low
Sometime before the Earth has died
Is where we all must draw our line

(Get away from her)
(Stay away, stay away)
(Get away)


"We need a better course
Because we′ve already passed the point of no return
We will never again know an Earth
That does not have more radioactivity
Than was naturally planned
We will never again know an Earth
With an ocean free of chemicals
We have invented things
That the Earth does not know how to handle
If we keep growing at the rate we're growing now
We′re going to have to stop
And when we've gone through the last wild things
We're going to have to go back to where we were
Go back to where we were and use our science
Our technology, our humanity
Our love for our fellow creatures
And for the Earth, do better there
And leave these wild places, these wild patterns
This vast encyclopedia, of knowing
For the answers it holds
To the questions man doesn′t yet know how to ask."
-- David Brower, 1974

(Progression, destruction)
In the end she will swallow you again she will
(Progression, destruction)
In the end she will swallow you again she will
(Progression, destruction)
In the end she will swallow you again she will
(Progression, destruction)
In the end she will swallow you again she will
(Progression, destruction)
In the end she will swallow you again she will
(Progression, destruction)
In the end she will, in the end she will swallow you again she will
(Progression, destruction)
In the end she will swallow you again she will, she will
(Progression, destruction)
In the end, in the end, in the end, she will
(Progression, destruction)
In the end she will swallow you again
(Progression, destruction)
In the end she will swallow you again
(Progression, destruction)
In the end she will swallow you again she will
