Name: Green Man
Duration: P00H02M24S
Description: This song is neither about Martians, nor about policemen. It's about mankind wondering how long Mother Nature will still endure its antics and crimes. The song was originally intended to be played on piano, but we figured that we'd record it in the style we play it live, i.e., with acoustic guitars.

lyrics

I can hear the crying
I can feel the dying
I can sense the pain you feel inside
Keeper of the forest
Guardian of the trees
When will you be down and lie there bleeding?

Your loved Goddess was scared away
A new tyrant bids to creep
Forlorn fight comes to an end
Megalomania of men

You where shelter once
Gave us warmth and strength
But we feared to be dependent
So we cut you down
Shed our sibling's blood
What odd sense of liberty

I can hear the crying
I can feel the dying
I can sense the pain you feel inside
Keeper of the forest
Guardian of the trees
When will you be down and lie there bleeding?

Acid rain burns all woods pale
Poisoned waters soak the ground
We unlocked Pandora's box
What will outlive human race?

Patience you have shown
Shown a mother's love
For all humans are your children
But I fear we need
Someone to stop us
For we won't make it ourselves

I still can hear the crying
Still I feel the dying
I sense all your pain like it was mine
Keeper of the forest
Guardian of the trees
Tell us what to do to stop this madness!
