A bloody sun sets
On this terrible day
When the flames roared
And swept all the houses away
Yes, a bloody sun sets
On this mournful day
When the creatures were burned
And wept where they lay
A sign of the times
And what's yet to come?
When the forests have turned
To hot plains in the sun?
What we do now
Is for our daughters and sons
Who have no time for crawling
They'll start off at a run
Their nonsensical leaders
Spout cheap nasty politics
And have sentenced them all
To nothing but rhetoric
Any action is scarce
It's so light on the ground
When the people need hope
There's none to be found
But Scotty's been charged
With a duty of care
Will he rise to the challenge
Or lead us into despair?
None of us knows
Only one thing's for sure
If he don't shape the heck up
We'll show him the door!
The time is upon us
There's no second to waste
It's time to make change
And we must make it posthaste!
Oh, a bloody sun sets
On this sorrowful day
When the fires did rip
Our hearts and forests away.
