Текст (слова) песни: Tourniquet - Descent Into The Maelstrom



[Words & Music: Ted Kirkpatrick]

[This song is dedicated to the animals we share this planet with and the people who work to protect them]

[Solo: Aaron]

Is it greed or is it ignorance or is it both?
As the bulldozer trashes a thousand years growth
Clear cutting with a clear conscience

A burning desire to burn
If a tree falls and no one`s around
The wildlife still hear it crashing down

[Chorus]
You were gone before we even knew you
And there`s no way to ever get you back

Gorilla seven days old
Ripped from his mothers dead arms
Her hand now an ashtray souvenir for a tourist`s charms

[Chorus]
Will I join the ranks of the photo gallery
It may be the only way left to see me

Thousand acres a day
Burning it all away
Extinction - the price to pay

A ton of rhino, a pound of horn
The Javan one cursed - the wheels of greed are born
Medicinal myth, smuggled to Hong-Kong
Ancient superstition - reality gone wrong

[Chorus]
I joined the ranks of the photo gallery
Its the only way left to ever see me
You were gone before we even knew you
And there`s no way to ever get you back

The greatest land animal killed for a foot of ivory
Will your children live to see one
Or witness decimation by tyranny

Passenger pigeons blackened the sky
Never a chance we would say goodbye
Oh how I wish I could see one fly

[Chorus]
You were gone before we even knew you
And there`s no way to ever get you back

American symbol of freedom and power
Only for target practice by the hour
Buffalo sat on the brink of no more

[Chorus]
Will I join the ranks of the photo gallery?
It may be the only way left to ever see me
