Rising Tides of Consciousness: Socialist Anthem Unveiled
Lyrics
The world is burning
The state of the world is in crisis or chaos.
While you stand by
An observation that some individuals are passive or indifferent amid the crisis.
If we do nothing then we're surely gonna die
Highlighting the urgency to take action to prevent a dire outcome.
The world is burning
Reiteration of the critical state of the world.
And so am I
An expression that the speaker is personally affected or distressed by the crisis.
Sign holders on the corner say the end is nigh
Reference to public warnings about the impending end of the world.
Killers of the Earth
Labeling those who harm the environment as "Killers of the Earth."
Will return to dirt
Emphasizing the inevitability of death for those who harm the Earth.
When ignorance and greed
Connecting environmental destruction to ignorance and greed.
Take from those in need
Describing the consequences of taking resources from the needy.
Killers of the Earth

Will return to dirt
Reemphasizing the inevitability of death for those harming the Earth.
When ignorance and greed

Take from those in need

A flood is coming
Warning of a metaphorical flood, possibly symbolizing a major environmental catastrophe.
And there are those
Acknowledging individuals who ignore or deny the impending disaster.
Who see it and they'd rather turn their nose
Expressing disapproval of those who turn away from recognizing the crisis.
A flood is coming
Reiteration of the forthcoming environmental crisis.
So don't jump ship
Encouragement to face and confront challenges instead of avoiding them.
If you're gonna swim, you'd rather come equipped
If you decide to confront the crisis, be prepared for the challenges.
Killers of the Earth
Repetition of the consequences for those harming the Earth.
Will return to dirt

When ignorance and greed

Killers of the Earth
