Axe by Pat Orchard Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2020

Down in the forest
There are lines on the trees
A sign of today
Of man
And his greed

They all stand ready
From the saplings to the tall
None shall be spared
When the axe
Starts to fall

And the earth that is left
Erodes easily
With the first rain
Is swept
Lost to the rivers and the sea

And the land left behind
Its no use at all
Nothing can grow
When the axe
Starts
To fall
And the skies they are wounded
The heavens exposed
And the fools in the green-houses
Are still throwing stones
Is our vision dead
Their conscience still-born
Will their children be spared
When the axe
Starts
To fall
