Ella Blame - Earth's Lullaby lyrics

It was way back in time

When an old lady told me

The story of Earth's lullaby.

A very sad story but nonetheless full of hope.

Mother Earth was really tired and weak.

She was wounded all over,

Her wounds covered her surface

Like cancerous ulcer.

“What can I do?",

Earth asked herself.

This was the only question she put up,

Again and again.

And she became tired and always more tired.

Thousands of years went by.

Earth said to herself:

"I will sing myself a lullaby.

Who else would do it for me?

I just want to sleep long,

Very long, forever."

Humans weren't tired,

And they were many enough

To continue destroying Earth.

But one day, it happened:

Earth sang her own lullaby.

There was rushing, roaring,

Sizzling and thunder.

Earth's voice trembled,

And the highest tones

Became great fires.

Earth sang her lullaby

For a long, a very long time.

And when Earth finally slept,

There was absolute silence.

Only a few microorganisms had survived.

It took billions of years

Until Earth woke up.

She felt relaxed and

Relieved from a big load.

Somewhat distrustful, she looked around,

Watched the bustle of the tiny

That would, how she knew,

Develop very slowly

Into the creatures

That had tortured her a long time ago.

These tiny organisms are my ancestors,

And the story of Earth's lullaby

Can be heard by all of us.

The story of Earth's lullaby

Shall be a warning for all creatures.
