You bury your head in shame
in a pit full of snakes,
but despite all your fame
the creatures will not wake.
Try, try,
as you might.
Try, try,
but you cannot take flight.
This is the world you fight to live in,
this is the world full of suffering.
Oh try, try,
as you might.
Try, try,
but you'll never again see the light.
This is Earth,
this is home.
This was where you were given birth,
this was where dinosaurs did roam.
This is where you take your last breath,
this is where your body now lies.
This is where you experience death,
this is where you say your goodbyes.
So try, try,
as you might.
Try, try,
your spirit dances in the moonlight.
Oh, so try, try,
as you might.
Try, try,
and feel the pain as the creatures bite.
