The Earth Dies Screaming Songtext
von UB40

A warm dry wind is all that breaks the silence
Highways quiet, scars across the land
People lie, eyes closed, no longer dreaming
The earth dies screaming

The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Your country needs you
Let′s strike up the band

The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Despite all odds
We must defend our land

Like scattered pebbles, cars lie silent waiting
Oil less engines seized by dirt and sand
Bodies hanging limp, no longer bleeding
The earth dies screaming


The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Your country needs you
Let's strike up the band

The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Despite all odds
We must defend our land

Half eaten meals lie rotting on the tables
Money clutched within a bony hand
Shutters down, the banks are not receiving
The earth dies screaming

The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Your country needs you
Let′s strike up the band

The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Despite all odds
We must defend our land
