lyrics

Trying for nothing to stop the rising sea
We can feel the air building energy
Black carbon ashes, we can feel the heat
Give our god of smoke an offering

Humid and hotter, sweltering summers (won’t)
Reflect the sun back into space again

And now we falter
The fault’s ours
Downpours
Won’t put out our fires

There’s no place for us, creatures of the cold
Reddened sunlight through the smoke
We could turn to face this but we can’t stem the tide
Hard enough to stay upright

Humid and hotter, sweltering summers (won't)
Reflect the sun back into space again

And now we falter
The fault’s ours
Downpours

Ebbing river
The pines all wither
(In the) Warmth of winter
