God’s Cathedral
Damned Valleys and Monetized Mother: Unveiling God's Cathedral
Lyrics
We dammed the valley
We blocked the flow of the valley
Then we damned ourselves
As a result, we condemned ourselves
We believe in preservation
We express belief in preserving
Of material wealth
We prioritize material wealth preservation
We marked the trees
We marked trees for various reasons
We cleared the land
We cleared the land, possibly for development
Then we posed
We posed and smiled for a photograph
Smiling to each other
Posing with a sense of satisfaction
For the stupid photograph
Capturing a moment for memory
You know God's Cathedral
Referring to nature as God's Cathedral
Could really use a swimming pool
Suggesting a swimming pool in a sacred place
Do you know what improves paradise?
Raising the question of improving paradise
We sure think that we do
Expressing confidence in knowing the answer
We monetize our mother
We turn our mother Earth into profit
Then we fail to understand
Failing to comprehend the consequences
Why she don't call us like she used to
Wondering why nature seems distant
Still we hold out our hands
Still expecting support despite exploitation
Now that we've made ourselves a mirror
Reflecting on our impact, creating a mirror
Does it show us who we are?
Questioning if reflection reveals true selves
Under 300 ft of water
Describing a submerged reality in a reservoir
At the bottom of the reservoir
Being under 300 ft of water
You know God's Cathedral
Reiterating the idea of nature as God's Cathedral
Could really use a swimming pool
Repeating the notion of adding a swimming pool
Do you know what improves paradise?
Pondering ways to enhance paradise
We sure think we do
Expressing confidence in knowing the answer
