Verse
D D/C# Bm Em7
Every thread of creation is held in position
G A
by still other strands of things living.
D D/C# Bm
In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline
Em7 G
of smouldering cities so gray and so vulgar,
D D/C# Bm
as not to be satisfied with their own negativity
Em7 G A D
but needing to touch all the living as well.
[Verse 2]
D D/C# Bm Em7
Every breeze that blows kindly is one crystal breath
G A
we exhale on the blue diamond heaven.
D D/C# Bm Em7
As gentle to touch as the hands of the healer.
Em7 G
As soft as farewells whispered over the coffin.
D D/C# Bm Em7
We’re poisoned by venom with each breath we take,
Em7 G A D
from the brown sulphur chimney and the black highway snake.
[Verse 3]
D D/C# Bm Em7
Every dawn that breaks golden is held in suspension
G A
like the yoke of the egg in albumen.
D D/C# Bm Em7
Where the birth and the death of unseen generations
Em7 G
are interdependent in vast orchestration
D D/C# Bm Em7
and painted in colors of tapestry thread.
Em7 G A D
When the dying are born and the living are dead.
[Verse 4]
D D/C# Bm Em7
Every pulse of your heartbeat is one liquid moment
G A
that flows through the veins of your being.
D D/C# Bm Em7
Like a river of life flowing on since creation.
Em7 G
Approaching the sea with each new generation.
D D/C# Bm Em7
You’re now just a stagnant and rancid disgrace
Em7 G A D
that is rapidly drowning the whole human race.
[Verse 5]
D D/C# Bm Em7
Every fish that swims silent, every bird that flies freely,
G A
every doe that steps softly.
D D/C# Bm Em7
Every crisp leaf that falls, all the flowers that grow
Em7 G
on this colourful tapestry, somehow they know.
D D/C# Bm Em7
That if man is allowed to destroy all they need.
Em7 G A D
He will soon have to pay with his life, for his greed.
