Luyện nghe bài hát Our Dying Island

I woke my daydream--discovered my nightmare was real,
At the altar of progress to of ambition we kneel,
Our deities--they cannot save us,
miracles only enslave us.
The high priests of high finance claim that their are wise--
But our still dies. . .
It dies for the want of people who care 'bout the poisons we
in the seas and the air,
Yet ignorant--still unaware,
We strive for a future with despair.
You say, "Why waste on the rivers and trees--they belong to
mankind to as we please?"
Face up to the that mankind's a disease--irrelevant microbes
with T.V.s.
Tell me just what kind of fools would laugh and stare in the face?
Only to kind of fools (like you and I--the human race).
If we laugh for long it could well be our epitaph,
Mother Earth will laugh the will have the final laugh.
BUT time has come to realise,
truth our eyes will not disguise.
SPEAK OUT--to say, "It's no of mine,"
to be party to the crime.
We all toe the and swallow the lies--and our island dies.
Let computers dictate our the way we should
feel.
our backs to the future now our days are numbered,
And where will we run to when world is plundered?
Your conscience a whisper out when your avarice cries--
And dies. . .
Without hot winds or tower crashing--no silver-lined mushroom
clouds man's passing,
From the Garden of Eden--into everlasting,
Such a high to pay for what we took without asking.
Stupidity's legacy is passed the years--as our knowledge
dispelling the fears
That the ghosts of the past may reappear--as the dawn of the
apocalypse nears.
Tell me just what kind of fools would laugh and death in the

Only the worst kind of fools (like you and human race).
If we laugh for long it could well be our epitaph,
Mother Earth will laugh the loudest--She will the final laugh.
(The of insanity--no future for humanity.
You to your vanity--it blinds you to reality.
In temples of we hail the gods of ignorance,
And sacrifice our final chance--behold the of innocence.)
BUT end is near so we must choose,
BELIEVE--that we everything to lose.
SPEAK OUT--if words are all we're worth,
DECEIVED--it is the end for Earth.
We all toe the line and swallow the our island dies.
If we the world is our oyster we'll surely choke on the pearl,
It is ours for a while to respect not defile--but minds drunk
still whirl.
The lands we dispute are not ours to pollute--neither the air
we breathe,
But how we ever see reason when we can't see the wood for the trees.
Now we hold the future in the of our hand--place your faith
In 'Rainbow not castles of sand,
The hourglass is time is slipping away--so prepare your
for the Judgement Day.
Court is now in session--Mother presides,
The jury are our futures we've denied.
The conclusive--we have no alibi,
The victim was our planet--the MATRICIDE.
BUT WAIT--the has come to realise,
BELIEVE--the truth our eyes not disguise.
SPEAK say, "It's no concern of mine,"
to be party to the crime.
BUT WAIT--the end is so we must choose,
we have everything to lose.
SPEAK empty words are all we're worth,
is the end for Mother Earth.
