Redgum
Still Life
The axe is swift and recklessFeel the grain, split it wideCut away to build the mansionsOf banks and boards in distant handsThe axeman looks to the sunCovered eyes, blind to silenceThe future is erodingThe sacred past destroyedNo damning feats of progressComfort the unemployedThe earth is shred and skunFortune seekers hit and ru-unBarren earth, poisoned skies, wasted seasWill we see the light through the treesBefore the last axe fallsA sweet breeze of rage is blowingFrom forest to the townSlowly the tide is turningWith love the seed is sownNo time for feeling helplessWe've change to makeWhile there's still lifeLessons learnt quickly fade, memoriesWill we see the light through the treesAs the last axe falls?
