Global warming

Gojira:"Global warming", (fra albummet "From mars to sirius", 2005):

Four hundred thousend years ago

They came from outer space

And gave us life here

We are taking everything for granted

I don´t think we should do this now

And when I see the smoke all around

I feel like I´m not

From humankind down there

I feel like glaciers are my eyes

And mountains are my head

My heart is ocean

And I feel all alone

Because everybody´s wrong

I feel the living

What is this thing we call hate

And that´s inside of me

Get out of here!

A world is down

And none can rebuild it

Disabled lands are evolving

My eyes are shut, a vision is dying

My head explodes

And I fall in disgrace

I hold my inner child within

And tell him not to cry

"Don´t fear the living"

One day you will stand as a king

And no fear can erase

This light below us

Each one of us is now engaged

This secret we all have

This truth is growing

And as a warrior I have to fight

I can already feel

The love I´ll discover

I had this dream, our planet surviving

The guiding stars always growing

And all the worlds

The fates all the countries

They´re all rebuilding at the same time

I never fell and always believed in

We could evolve and get older

Open your eyes and let all this flow

Now see a new hope is growing inside

We will see our children growing

(Der er flere årsager til, at jeg elsker det franske death metal-band Gojira, og en af årsagerne er deres buddhistiske tilgang til livet, en tilgang som bl.a. kommer til udtryk i bandets tekster. Tag f.eks. mit yndlingsnummer fra Gojira´s gennembrudsplade "From mars to sirius", nummeret "Global warming". Det er en dejlig, meget livsbekræftende og helt igennem interessant tekst, som jeg personligt ville have været utroligt stolt over selv at have skrevet....:-)).
