Taking, taking the fruit

letting it all wither away

wither away, leaving mere hate

Man has always abused his sister

Yet it's she who feeds the child which will once again become man

Fighting, fighting the wars

the enemy slain, spoils for the victor

(yet) mothers in pain, mothers in pain

Dying, dying sea

Our fragile womb, mother of all

all living things, all living things

Man has always abused his sister

Yet it's she who feeds the child which will once again become man

Instinct of pride

Think, think we not all

in means of gain, until the womb

can no longer sustain, no longer sustain

Man has always abused his sister

Yet it's she who feeds the child which will once again become man

Instinct of pride
