The 6th Wave - Stornoway

Conquerors of this world:

We rule the land and seem so superior

To beast and bird — drive them out

Unless they make us richer

What’s it got to do with the rivets on an airplane’s wing?

Well there’s only so many that we can fly without

What’s it got to do with a library of unread books?

Well we don’t know what we’re losing as we throw them out

Commanders of the future:

We plan to save the world while we

Clear the trees and plunder the luxuries

We’re stealing from our children

What’s it got to do with the rivets on an airplane’s wing?

Well there’s only so many that we can fly without

What’s it got to do with a library of unread books?

Well we don’t know what we’re losing as we throw them out

What’s it got to do with the frog in the tree in Ecuador?

It’s the morning indicator on your car dashboard

What’s it got to do with the dog on the lead on the woodland walk?

Well if you find you’re attached to the rest of the natural world

You care about the 6th wave and you’re scared
