Lyrics Grief Barrier - Alchemist

Grief Barrier

Tear me apart
Underwater brilliance super sensory
Suddenly gone
My destruction the consequence of lost clarity
You wonder why
You use me as sanctuary
Blaming nature
Tourist dollar fades away from your economy
Praising my beauty
Tear me apart
Untouched, unspoiled
Dominant force
Taken for granted
Suddenly gone
Hole in your world
And you can tell where I once was
I’m never coming back into this sick world of apathy
Although it’s never caught, the great reef will never be free
Only living thing visible from space
Grief barrier
To let it fade away, a heritage disgrace
Praising my beauty
Tear me apart
Untouched, unspoiled
Dominant force
Alive so long
Taken for granted, no destroyed
Suddenly gone
And now you see
Hole in your world
And you can tell where I once was
I’m never coming back into this sick world of apathy
Although it’s never caught, the great reef will never be free
Vibrant colours turn grey, beauty fading away
I’m never coming back
Crystal waters turn black
How could something so still be something so alive?
Exploit, export and destroy
Unnatural claiming of rights
My destruction the consequence of lost clarity
Grief barrier
