Lyrics

Look upon the field of snow
And find the desert sea
Under the ice, the springs will flow to release
Fecundities like a natural disaster
Disaster
From the first drop of water
To the rage of Niagara
Collapse upon the forest floor and down upon your knees
Anthurium Lacrimae decays underneath the canopies
Like a natural disaster, a disaster
It's the one that's been happening over and over and over again
No peace in the valleys
Malarial alleys where the kittens have pleurisy
Donning our goggles, valerian ogles
To see microscopically
A colony of dermestids, undressed and digested
A grey spotted owl
And a wolf with a lung disease
Collapse upon the forest floor and down upon your knees
Anthurium Lacrimae decays underneath the canopies
Like a natural disaster
It's the one that keeps happening over and over and over again
