Lyrics Note from a cold planet Hawkwind

Note from a cold planet

There is ice everywhere now, from pole to pole
And we live in a kind of miserable twilight
Mining what we can of the food we left behind
Mining for Campbell's Soup and Birds-Eye peas
For Heinz baked Beans and sliced Kraft cheese

Yes all the food is frozen now
all the food is frozen now

Last year we struck a forest two hundred feet below
It was perfectly preserved. It was as though
Some cryogenic process petrified it in time
It seemed a shame to drag it up and burn it
But we've no choice if we wish to stay alive

Yes, all the trees are frozen now
all the trees are frozen now

There are fourteen of us left in our group today
Three of these are women: warriors from Mandalay
The others are from Africa, America, Japan
The English cannibal is, of course, a man
He claims it is the price he has to pay

Yes, all our hearts are frozen now
all our hearts are frozen now

I know for certain there is earth below the snow
The land we lost only a few short years ago
When in our euphoric ferocity we loosed the fires
No water could extinguish. A hundred billion funeral pyres
Their fumes became our shroud. There's nowhere left to go

Yes, all our hopes are frozen now
all our hopes are frozen now

We denied ourselves the right to walk upon the Earth
To walk upon the surface of our Earth
We denied our rites, the lore of ancient wisdom
We can no longer walk upon the surface of our Earth
Denied the facts of death and the facts of birth

Yes, all our Future's frozen now
all our Future's frozen now
