Minerals - Mindless Faith

I am the crack in the rock

That grows wider every day

The more I fight, the more breaks off

Then water wears away

I get the strong impression

More is destroyed than what is made

So frack and blast, and bleach the sand

More land is lost than what is saved

We will all soon be minerals

In a salt, salt sea

What wicked worm somehow evolved

To be disappointed me

I am the wicked west wind

Like the howls of a dog

With cries of pain from the birds

To insult the ears of God

I get the clear impression

That you’re waiting for the cause

But with your last question asked

You will meet with faint applause

We will all soon be minerals

In a salt, salt sea

What wicked worm somehow evolved

To be disappointed me

I am the burning bright sun

That’s drying out your skin

The more I see, the more is gone

Till there’s nothing left to win

I have the sole impression

You’re obeying Darwin’s laws

And all you’ll hear, under the waves

Is the sound of faint applause

We will all soon be minerals

In a salt, salt sea

What wicked worm somehow evolved

To be disappointed me

… and bleach the sand
