Waltz for Mother Earth or A Climate Exchange of Vows ft. Lia Havlena Lyrics

What a beautiful way to get married

What a beautiful time to be alive

To unburden the trauma

The wounds that we've carried

Its old fashion to wonder

How we'll ever survive

But you look so lovely through your smoke covered veil

The ash and the soot really brings out your lips

A picture perfect wedding but its best we not inhale

But we're here in the moment living in a vanilla apocalypse

Well the trees become shadows in a misty white blanket

The lakes and the mountains a faint silhouette

The reception the first dance the vows and the banquet

Really distract from earths pending regret

But you smell like a shower though the fog hugs your shoulder

Your suit looks so dapper though the air burns my eyes

And even as the world around us does smolder

We're here in this moment under these hazardous skies

This burning love can't extinguish

But the flames won't diminish

And grandma's now coughing up black residue

And the towers of embers

This passion remembers

The heat and the sulfur of all that was new

Well the sounds of dark burning

As the world keeps turning

The charred green remnants of a planet askew

But we're here together

In spite of the weather

Here's to all that we were

Here's to all that we are

Oh I do

But you look so lovely among this backdrop of fire

Our little flower girl's passed out from the fumes

As our toasted love leaps

Mother earth weeps

Now's all that we have

It's less time than you think

Oh

Might as well drink
