Squalloscope - Heart Hearth Earth Lyrics

We are witnesses to wildly moving times
Experiences strong and not easily torn apar
What is happening here and now
In front of us, and what is to follow
Is a time, are times, our times
In which we operate
Stop standing here so outrageously empty

Move, move
You are not a tree
You are not an herb garden
I am moving, we will move now
We will be a movement
I am moving, we will move now
We will be a movement

We are trumpet, tuba, tenor
Bass bass baby
Soprano, organ, heavy munition
We are verse, bridge, and chorus
Verse, bridge, and chorus
Verse, bridge, and chorus
We're all of it
We are trumpet, tuba, tenor
Bass bass baby
Soprano, organ, heavy munition
We are verse, bridge, and chorus
Verse, bridge, and chorus
Verse, bridge, and chorus
We're all of it

Don't be a retreat
Don't be a concern
Don't be a reserve
Don't be a backup
Don't be a retreat
Don't be a concern
Don't be a reserve
Don't be a backup
Don't be a retreat
Don't be a concern
Don't be a reserve
Don't be a backup
Keep your eyes open
Keep up with the human demands

OK: verse, main verse, main demands:
We demand the vital humanity of any human
In particular of any human who writes
In particular in this upside down world we make our home
A world unsuitable for humanity
In these dark times, in this dark world or both
Everyone cares only about their own:
Their own personal, private freedom
Their own individual interests
Their retreat
Their ignorance
In this dark, steaming hot world
Where humanity has become politically irrelevant
We demand
Again and again
Verse, main verse, main demands:
WE DARE YOU (truth or dare? both! always!)
Truth or dare is always a REQUEST
A demand, a wish, much more: a desire
We dare you to our 3 standards
Our minimum standards:

The bottom, the base, the heartbeat
The bottom, the base, the heartbeat
The bottom, the base, the heartbeat
The bottom, the base, the heartbeat
And we write
And we say:
HERZ HERDE ERDE
HEART HERD EARTH
