Array ( [sid] => 1439 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => L [time] => 2002-07-30 07:12:31 [hometext] => The title of this one stands for all those little words that starts with "L" and describe the general state of the world i live in, lost, lonely, loving, etc. As a whole though, this song was written as a lamentation for the times when life was so much simpler and so much more innocent. Also, the phrase "copper scars" in the song refers to the way a city looks as you fly over it in an airplane at nighttime. All the land right around the city looks pure and pristine, and then there is a big copper-colored scar right there in the middle of it all. [bodytext] => The sky went dark
for the first time in years
today when the planes flew off.
The newsman says
it should go away,
but the planes
didn't come back home.
The children suck
their lollipops
and skip on off to school.
Their momies do their shopping,
no fresh water
in the stores.
The machines must die
we've gone too far
and the end is far from here.
But tragedy is on its way
as darkness
creeping near.
The sky lets loose
a cloud of ash
as if the ground had died,
while mommies do their shopping
no fresh water anymore.
The smog and ash
ruin the fish
and fill the corpse-dump sea.
And Gaea mourns
the death of life
and cries from copper scars.
The planes are gone
and won't return
the city may be doomed.
The plains are gone
and empty just like
mother nature's womb.
The eagles shed their feathers
and don't look quite so up high.
The looters do their shopping
no fresh water for the whores.
One last time before we die.
Get in the sack.
Let's go.
The flag was burned for nothing
only thirty years ago. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 262 [topic] => 34 [informant] => Butterat_Zool [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )
