Lyrics Terra Firma - The Enid

Terra Firma

The rocks speak a history
Layering life, layering life-forms
The deep realm of energy
Becoming itself
Behaving itself
Boring through the earth
A reflection of sound hits
The rocks and stones
Exploring through the earth
Fell it, fell it, feel it
As you start to fall
We kill it, we drilled it
Like the atmosphere
Getting hot in here
It’s our world
It’s a shame we killed it dead
Boring through the earth
Despite the fact that it’s
Just made of stone
Exploring through the earth
Now they’re sucking the heart of it
And you’re picking the bones
We drill it, we kill it…
…In the name of the people
In the name of the people all over the world
For the sake of the people
For the sake of the people’s name
In te name of the whole wide world
In te face of the whole wide world
In the place of the face of the grape and grain
In the case of fame
In the place of people’s name
On the tracks of a fast and dangerous train
Everything is exactly the same
The planet is turning round
For the sake of fame
For the sake of the people
