lyrics

When I die I'll feed the earth
Gobbled up by mites and worms
My skin dissolves and bones decay
Teeth will crumble and organs cave
I’ll become the darkened soil
Tilled and turned by my children's toil
Crops will rise, heads held high
To mold and rot before they die

My heart still beats beneath your feet
Pulses pound and never cease
Even after I'm released
I live on in the endless beat

There's nothing for me in the past
Names and faces never last
Strip me bare to carbon atoms
Finding rest in the garden
Mushrooms caps beneath the pines
The golden leaves of passing time
Wake up frozen and thaw by noon
The end of day is coming soon

My heart still beats beneath your feet
Pulses pound and never cease
Even after I'm released
I live on in the endless beat

Pesticides and poison water
The bottom line and holy dollar
The waxy apple is so called fresh
Rotten core and mealy flesh
Tropicana orange grove
Pave the glades for more and more
Too shortsighted to see the cliff
The fall is not the end of this

My heart still beats beneath your feet
Pulses pound and never cease
Even after I'm released
I live on in the endless beat

My heart still beats for a brighter day
Love will soften all the pain
I pray that we will all find peace
And live on in the endless beat
Live as one in the endless beat
