Verse
G# G#/G Fm A#m7
Every thread of creation is held in position
C# D#
by still other strands of things living.
G# G#/G Fm
In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline
A#m7 C#
of smouldering cities so gray and so vulgar,
G# G#/G Fm
as not to be satisfied with their own negativity
A#m7 C# D# G#
but needing to touch all the living as well.
[Verse 2]
G# G#/G Fm A#m7
Every breeze that blows kindly is one crystal breath
C# D#
we exhale on the blue diamond heaven.
G# G#/G Fm A#m7
As gentle to touch as the hands of the healer.
A#m7 C#
As soft as farewells whispered over the coffin.
G# G#/G Fm A#m7
We’re poisoned by venom with each breath we take,
A#m7 C# D# G#
from the brown sulphur chimney and the black highway snake.
[Verse 3]
G# G#/G Fm A#m7
Every dawn that breaks golden is held in suspension
C# D#
like the yoke of the egg in albumen.
G# G#/G Fm A#m7
Where the birth and the death of unseen generations
A#m7 C#
are interdependent in vast orchestration
G# G#/G Fm A#m7
and painted in colors of tapestry thread.
A#m7 C# D# G#
When the dying are born and the living are dead.
[Verse 4]
G# G#/G Fm A#m7
Every pulse of your heartbeat is one liquid moment
C# D#
that flows through the veins of your being.
G# G#/G Fm A#m7
Like a river of life flowing on since creation.
A#m7 C#
Approaching the sea with each new generation.
G# G#/G Fm A#m7
You’re now just a stagnant and rancid disgrace
A#m7 C# D# G#
that is rapidly drowning the whole human race.
[Verse 5]
G# G#/G Fm A#m7
Every fish that swims silent, every bird that flies freely,
C# D#
every doe that steps softly.
G# G#/G Fm A#m7
Every crisp leaf that falls, all the flowers that grow
A#m7 C#
on this colourful tapestry, somehow they know.
G# G#/G Fm A#m7
That if man is allowed to destroy all they need.
A#m7 C# D# G#
He will soon have to pay with his life, for his greed.
