Moder Jord [English translation]

The train moves forth with haste

Over alot of rusty rails

The machine is coughing

Discharging smoke yet moves good

The wagon moves soullessly

Moving forth without a thought

Where no one has been able to travel

Where no one has been able to walk

The wheels are wildly raging

A saw is working blindly

With tearing, mangling teeths

Choping hard and wildly

Whetted steel in the mouth is chewing all too well

All too well

(Ref:)

Mother earth is paying the price

Paying the price with her blood

Mother earth is paying the price

Paying the price with her blood

Taking stones out of the mountain

To put on our grave

Destroying the forest

Leaking oil into our ocean

The country shall be curbed with force

Our nature is being punished

No thought about tomorrow

Not a single thought about tomorrow

A dreary and gloomy future

Our death will be sad

The machine is out of step

Its flywheel is out of balance

A creak like no other

So distinct and all to well, all to well

(Ref)

Spilling your oil

Draining your gold

Slaying the forest violently

Actually drinking until the bottle is empty

A hunger for profit

Will make many a men hunt for prey

But without planting anything

No harvest can be expected

A warning for deaf ears

An alarm sounds in vain

We trust technology

It will save our souls

But the wounds caused by its feet

Speaks all too well

(Ref)(2x)
