Fertile crescent

Come and see the brilliant light

don't let your emotions mask your sight

it's the manifestation of a deeper fight

that affects me and you

my optimism was running high

a new world order was on my mind

but I couldn't belive it when I heard them say

they're blowing it away

and the fertile crescent is burning today

and baby my emotions are too

the cradle of humanity has led us all astray

and we're all in this tigether don't you know

'cause our species has nowhere else to go

aggression rears its ugly head

retaliation brings further dread

the two are linked by unseen threads

that wind back through time

I don't agree with the outdated trend

nationalism is an evil friend

but hatred is instilled by invisible lines

drawn in our minds

and the fertile crescent is haunting us today

and baby our instincts are too

the ghost of humanity is warning us this way

and I think we all should need it don't you know

'cause we've got nowhere else to go
