Bjork's song Earth Intruders from her 2007 Volta album (with lyrics)

This song says so much about how we treat our planet, and Bjork, well, being Bjork, has put her own strange spin on it giving life to her thoughts on how we've intruded upon our Earth's fragile systems with our pounding, marching, carnage. It's beautiful in it's own way, yet scarily haunting.
Have a listen and see what you think.

LYRICS For Bjork's Earth Intruders


We are the earth intruders
We are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches

Turmoil, carnage

Here come the earth intruders
We are the paratroopers
Some beat of sharp shooters
Come straight from voodoo

With our feet thumping
With our feet marching
Grinding skeptics
Into the soil

Shower of goodness coming to end
The doubt pouring over
Shower of goodness coming to end

We are the earth intruders
We are the sharp shooters
Flock of parachuters
Necessary voodoo

I have guided my bones
Through some voltage
And love them still
And love them too

Metallic, carnage
Furiocity, feel the speed

We are the earth intruders
We are the sharp shooters
Flock of parachuters
Necessary voodoo

There is turmoil out there
Carnage, rambling
What is to do but dig
Dig bones out of earth

Mud graves, timber
Morbid trenches

Here come the earth intruders
There'll be no resistance
We are the canoneerers
Necessary voodoo

And the beast
With many heads
And the arms rolling
Steamroller

We are the earth intruders
We are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches

Forgive us, tribe

We are the earth intruders
We are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches

We are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches

We are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches
Marching

We are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches
Marching, marching, marching, marching
