about

The album's final offering is a song which, in various forms and under various titles, Howard has been writing for a long time. It's wound up being sort of Ecological Rock, a visionary look at where we're headed if we don't take better care of this 'dot' that we live on. The instrumental coda has a very exciting solo section, with bowed bass and tough, distorted electric guitar. This last song leaves us at a fork in our road: one way extinction, and the other, rebirth- with a very basic choice to be made. Some are starting to hear, but will that be enough? As a saying very central to our times goes, 'There Is No Planet B'.

lyrics

The world’s on fire, sirens screaming
Smoke and fog fill the air
Honey bee’s dying, oceans rising
The healing shoreline disappears
A clock is ticking, bells are tolling
Final call is near
Engines turning, forests burning
It’s very clear

Here at the crossroads - extinction or rebirth
A spinning dot – our only home this earth
We’re one world, one fate
Locked in struggle and embrace
Who can lead us to a safer place

Oh Mother Nature, bruised and battered
Driven to your knees
In a world of greed, with no mercy
We are all refugees
Spare the children, in the crosshairs
With the vision to see
The way out of the poison garden
There is no Planet B

We’re at the crossroads - extinction or rebirth
A spinning dot – our only home this earth
We’re one world, one fate
Hold the children in embrace
Who will lead us to a safer place
Who can lead us to a safer place

The world's on fire, sirens screaming
Some are beginning to hear
