Precious New World

Earth is given to us as a pledge
Our task is to preserve her
But we drill into her
Like a tapeworm into a dog

The poisoning of our planet
Grows larger from day to day
Death wins without a battle

The earth which feeds us is ruined
The ocean becomes a dust heap
The air we breathe is filthy

Humanity opens the nuclear can
And lives of lended time
Procreation and birth
Work and sleep
In a terminate state
In a precious new world

In a precious new world
Surrounded by dying nature
The world
The world turns upside down

We have created her in a shape
In which the eagles die
And the seaweed thrives
We are on collision course
