On the coastline Where the trees shine In the unexpected rain There's the carcass of a tanker In the centre of a stain And the waves of dead sea things Slide slick on to the stones And the flux thicker than water From the planet's pierced bones
In a jeweler's armoured window You can just cast your eyes on A diamond-crusted pendant In the shape of Bart Simpson Through mirrored cops in armour And the drift of gas clouds Drones the size of horseflies Scrutinizing the crowds And the horsemen on a high ridge They wheel and they ride Their work all done for them By the turgid black tide

Life blood of the land Consort of our earth Pulse to the pull of moonrise Can you tally what it's worth? We can spend it till we end it While the heat climbs up the graph Till we're panting like a salmon With its gill hooked on a gaff And the dark blood keeps flowing Like a hemorrhage from the womb That birthed us, gave us substance On our own heads be our doom
