To promote Earth Day 2021 and to remind us that the vital work to protect our environment and home, reducing CO2 and ending the use of fossil fuels, as well as respecting the rights of all life on this planet has to be our priority.
This track was originally recorded in April 2019. Two years on and we still have much to do.

OUR HOUSE IS IN FLAMES
As my thoughts come flooding in
With tidal force
It’s not the world that cruel
It’s us of course
So what can I do to stem the flow?
Pass the problem on to you?
You might just know
Hold out your hands
Too late to pray
We’re way beyond the judgement day
CHORUS
Who’s gonna come?
The damage is all done
No time to lose
We’re burning down the fuse
The shame to end all shames
Our house is in flames
Why does the sound of rain
Make me sing
This quiet song of pain
It’s deafening
The writing’s on the wall
In black and white
A message to us all
To do what’s right
Hold on tight
We’re in for a rough ride
A one way global suicide
CHORUS
So who’s gonna come?
Now the damage is all done
No time to lose
We’re burning down the fuse
The shame to end all shames
Our house is in flames
