Today I 'm playing with all these keys
Computers, pianos and big theories
I read about poisoned anoxic seas
Invisible to our toxic cities
Coral reefs lie like bones
Like our moral beliefs, our dead zones
From an island nation to annihilation
There’s two degrees of separation
The phoenix rises from despair
Sings in the storm for all to hear
In beautiful rage and mastered fear
The song of our age, Beautiful Rage
Maybe you think it'll all be OK
Come back from the brink some beautiful day
Borrow the world ‘til we come to a standstill
Heads in the sand still, maybe a landfill
Faster now than anyone thought
Who cast the line out? Look at who's caught
Us and our children, their children too
I ask myself, what will I do?
The phoenix rises from despair
Sings in the storm for all to hear
In beautiful rage and mastered fear
The song of our age, Beautiful Rage
Papatuanuku, Gaia, Isis
Damsel in distress, goddess in crisis
Rapunzel please, throw down your hair!
But who sees and who will care?
“Not I,” said the cat, “Not I,” said the pig
I’m too cool for that, I’m a little too big…
What story will we tell, what spin shall we sell
When we already know the truth so well?
The phoenix rises from despair
Sings in the storm for all to hear
In beautiful rage and mastered fear
The song of our age, Beautiful Rage
Climate conspiracy's quite a hot topic
The greens and the hippies could be misanthropic
Anthropocentricity could be myopic
Our egocentricity macroscopic
When we look back on our beautiful planet
If we ever look back and see how we ran it
Our egos running amok, megalomanic
Maybe we saw the iceberg and the Titanic
And finally learned to woman and man it
Some say that our science has got it all wrong
Some shout in defiance and so it goes on
Whatever it is, look deep in your heart
Where you and the world were broken apart
Look inside and out to the beauty and pain
Then take up the weaving together again
The phoenix rises from despair
Sings in the storm for all to hear
In beautiful rage and mastered fear
The song of our age, Beautiful Rage
