Still Life Lyrics - Redgum Anthology 1976-1986 - Redgum

The axe is swift and reckless 

Feel the grain, split it wide 

Cut away to build the mansions 

Of banks and boards in distant hands 

The axeman looks to the sun 

Covered eyes, blind to silence 

 

The future is eroding 

The sacred past destroyed 

No damning feats of progress 

Comfort the unemployed 

The earth is shred and skun 

Fortune seekers hit and ru-un 

 

Barren earth, poisoned skies, wasted seas 

Will we see the light through the trees 

Before the last axe falls 

 

A sweet breeze of rage is blowing 

From forest to the town 

Slowly the tide is turning 

With love the seed is sown 

No time for feeling helpless 

We've change to make 

While there's still li-ife
