Lyrics
The Earth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Innocence was never lost
Though it may have been insulted
Even if the earth forgot
Her inheritance resulted
In contradiction, ceremony
Benediction, hallelujah
There are no more accidents
Living things refuse to offer
Explanations of their worth
We in turn avenge the author
With paranoia and prediction
Exploration, competition
Ceremony, inner anguish
Consequences, hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah
Run, mission, run
Before we arrive
