The Burjek Collective - Fire Years

The rings in the trees are telling us
A terrifying story
We started listening in the eighties
But we didn't take it seriously
Still not taking it seriously

We brush it off and tell ourselves
Things will work out fine
We go about big business
We're running out of time
We'll soon be out of time

They're screaming it from the ocean bed
But we don't want to hear what they say
Used to be so colorful
Now it's only dull and gray
Dull and gray

The villagers are wondering
What'll come of their island
Where will their children live
Hoping someone lets them in
Will anybody let them in

They're screaming it from the mountain tops
But falling on deaf ears
Used to be fire seasons
Now there's only fire years
Fire years
Fire years
Fire years
Fire years

Just rake the brush away
It'll all be okay
Just rake the brush away
