about

Album: Take No Orders
2022

lyrics

Once there was a day when everything had stopped
The world was never gonna be the same
And all the people, everything they dropped
They wondered who ever was to blame

But the air was clean, a clear blue sky
The people looked up in wonder and awe
The birds were flying so freely by
And children wondered what they saw

refr.
And now as all the wars are over
and slaughterhouses belong to the past
Now cages and prisons are just stories
We know now that money doesn’t last

Once there was a day that nature took control
And all the people were fighting to survive
Despair and greed had darkened their soul
A lesson to be learned in loss of life

But the water was cleaner than ever before
The roads so quiet, the forests at peace
And oil wasn’t worth a single dime nomore
But it was no crisis for honey bees

refr.

Once there was a time when freedom was a dream
And people were turned against eachother
But differences, they are not what they seem
No reason for hate but a love for wonder

And armies and weapons came to a stand still
As people took their fate in their own hands
It was time for the rich to pay the bill
and for people to take no more commands

refr.
