about

Originally released on "The Final War - Vegan Straight Edge Compilation" by Catalyst Records, here is a re-mixed and mastered version of the featured track. The spoken middle-part of the song is basically the Earth First! Manifest and what this is all about. The general principles behind Earth First! are non-hierarchical organisation and the use of direct action to confront, stop and eventually reverse the forces that are responsible for the destruction of the Earth and its inhabitants. EF! is not a cohesive group or campaign, but a convenient banner for people who share similar philosophies to work under. If you agree with this and you are not racist or otherwise discriminatory, if you believe action speaks louder than words, then Earth First! is for you. Whether you think of EF! as a movement, a network, an idea or simply a name to use for actions, get involved – you are Earth First!

lyrics

Enough! The destruction of the earth must end! Mitigation is not enough!
The age of compromise has passed since all pacific approaches have failed
We need to act now and preserve all of it, there’s no compromise in defense

Of mother earth and strive for the liberation of all life, take action, don’t step aside
Earth First! …and the wilderness will thrive (again)
Humane atrocities must end - public awareness rouse and amend - to a higher wisdom ascend
Earth First! …let nature rise and expand (again)

The poisoning of our ecosystem must stop! Half-ass conventions are only a drop
In the ocean of blood, standing to our necks, hoping there won’t come a flood
Your hypocrisy is a fraud…

The very future of life on Earth is in danger. Human activities - from hunting to habitat destruction - have already driven countless species to extinction, and the process is only accelerating. The destruction of the Earth and its sustainable indigenous cultures has led to tragedy in every corner of the globe. Meanwhile, scientists have confirmed what indigenous cultures have taught for thousands of years: all forms of life are vitally connected. Removing even a single strand from the web of life produces a widening ripple of catastrophe. On a more spiritual level, we have to understand that we can never be the healthy humans that we were meant to be in a world without wilderness, clean air and the howling of wolves under the moon. It is not enough to ask politicians and corporations to destroy less wilderness. We need to preserve it all, to recreate lost habitats and reintroduce extirpated predators.
We need to stop and reverse the poisoning of our air, water and soil, as well as the modification of life’s genetic code. It is not enough to oppose the construction of new dams and developments. It is time to free our shackled rivers and restore the land.

Can’t you taste the salt in the air from the tears of our mother, she’s crying because of you!
Can’t you smell the iron on the ground from the blood we’re draining relentlessly - she’s dying because of you!

No compromise in defense
of mother earth and strive for the liberation of all life, take action, don’t step aside
Earth First! …and the wilderness will thrive (again)
Humane atrocities must end - public awareness rouse and amend - to a higher wisdom ascend
Earth First! …let nature rise and expand
