The wind cries greed and is
growing into a devastating storm
as it blows the flames towards 
a hill that once used to be an island
before imported roots dried out the river

The trees whisper corruption while 
their ancestors arrive at a sawmill 
Paper barons weighing their gold and
the way they’re ripping the ark of its timber 
makes bending branches stop to quiver

Politicians shout economic growth and
are designing a heaven for the elite
Meanwhile preparing for the kill of
all that’s free and naturally theirs, who are
depending on charity from a fake almsgiver

Slaves believing to be free and
part of a superior movement that
will lead them to daily life fortune
are helping their populist masters
cutting down the only trees capable to deliver
