Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) (Marvin Gaye​-​cover)

from Terrestrial Uncovering by Celesterre

lyrics

Oh, mercy, mercy me!
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows
From the North and South and East...

Oh, mercy, mercy me!
No, things ain't what they used to be
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury...

With tears in my eyes I watch our Mother Earth
Scourged and ravaged
Raped and ruined
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying...

Oh, mercy, mercy me!
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?

Where are we heading to?
When will it end?
How much longer?
How much longer before we open our eyes?

Dark and epic heavy metal unit, functioning as the Mouth of the Earth. Sometimes describing scenes from the natural world. Sometimes issuing a warning. Always emphasizing that man is but a small and futile segment within the grandeur of nature…
