Песня: Globus Hystericus
What says the Tree to his friends the Rocks?
When he lives and breathes they sit and mock.
And he grows strong for centuries long,
But finally dies and begins to rot.

"We will last intact this way,
And you, my friend, will soon decay".
"But I can breathe - am commensal;
The shade, the fruits, the nests on bough,
And if, with this, my time finite
I'm glad to spent it doing right".
But Rocks prefer to simply sit
To win none, lose none, just exist.

But nary should an ocean rise
They'd become sand and disappear with the tides.
When Trees ignite a cyclical life
From plant to animal, to Earth and back.
Whom, even when their roots are plowed,
Have left exponential impact.

Steel, concrete, technology etc.
May stand intact for centuries,
(I say with actions...)
But faced with wind, flood or quake
Like toy will crumble, bend and break.
(What you do with words...)

And so the greedy human kind
To conquer trees tall, moutains high
Erects gigantics splinters of steel
That shame forests, make mountains kneel.

And progress spreads like moss on stone,
Evolution dictates that men are prone
To outdo those that came before.
"You see? We'll last forever more!
We improve what nature made,
We challenge moutains, transplant lakes.
There is no confirmed master plan,
We do it just because we can".

But foolish is the one who
Complacently thinks himself King,
Because when time erodes the past
What remains are nature's things.
Quite Shakespearean duels
Those between parents and offspring are.
As Chronos devours his Son,
Gaia to Mankind so starts.

Steel, concrete, technology etc.
May stand intact for centuries,
(I say with actions...)
But faced with wind, flood or quake
Like toy will crumble, bend and break.
(What you do with words...)

We won't outlive our generation,
But our impact surely will.
This - the Rocks' humiliation,
When they witness we are still
Alive in what we've left for others
Like nature gives so selflessly.
So, pay respect to our true Mother,
And take your rank amongst the Trees.

Перевод песни:
Истерический комок*

Что говорит Дерево своим друзьям Скалам?
В то время как оно живёт и дышит, они стоят на месте и насмехаются над ним.
Оно растёт и становиться всё сильнее веками,
Но, в конце концов, умирает и начинает гнить.

"Мы останемся нетронутыми ещё долго,
А ты, мой друг, вскоре сгниёшь".
"Зато я могу дышать и я не паразит;..... [открыть перевод]
