lyrics
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
Do, do what? Do, do what?
Innocent creatures become vanishing features
Delicate breezes spread deadly diseases
Rich men of the world : you do not care
Wise men of the world : you do not dare, to say :
The land is tiring : the sea is crying; the sky is falling
What are we gonna do when the well runs dry?
Do, do what? Do, do what?
Fragrant blossoms…turn sterile and rotten
Lovely visions…deformed by deep erosion
Rich men of the world : you do not care
Wise men of the world : you do not dare, to say :
The land is tiring : the sea is crying; the sky is falling
What are we gonna do when the seeds won’t grow?
The land is tiring : the sea is crying; the sky is falling
What are we gonna do?
Rich men of the world : what are we gonna do?
Wise men of the world : what do we do?
Two mind-expanding epics that clock in at 17 minutes apiece and blend drone, ambient, shoegaze, and traditional Indian music. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 12, 2023
