Eco-communities as a social vision
Egalitarian and ecological communities, like the pictured East Wind (www.eastwind.org), are very close to our vision of an ecological society

"Dethrone Tyranny" by Gamma Ray. Album: No World Order (2001)

Someone is out there he's watching what I do
From far in the distance, his eyes everywhere
I look around me, there's noone that I see
But still I feel someone's controlling my mind

Save your breath and run
You can't escape the one

Time has come, the world lies dying
Our faith has gone, our souls are crying
Resurrecting paradise, cry for freedom
Killing pain, a million lies,
Dethrone tyranny

Forces of evil, they never surrender
Sooner or later the dark era comes

Crying man on the run
He's searching for freedom but there will be none

Time has come, the world lies dying
Our faith has gone, our souls are crying
Resurrecting paradise, cry for freedom
Killing pain, a million lies,
Dethrone tyranny

And as the world is dying slowly in our hands
We'll ask for reasons until the bitter end

Who brings us all the sadness
Who brings us all the fear
Who spreads disease and misery
And steals our destiny

A poisoned heart of anger
Sowing the seeds of pain
All see the darkened skyline
And feel the deadly reign

Time has come, the world lies dying
Our faith has gone, our souls are crying
Resurrecting paradise, cry for freedom
Killing pain, a million lies,
To hell with tyranny


This is a song addressing similar issues as “Tyranny” by Firewind. However, it appears to be more critical, asking for the reasons of sadness and fear, disease and misery, dealing with subtler ways of oppression like mind control and referring to a planet-wide form of tyranny which makes the world to lie dying.

"To Mother Earth" by Gamma Ray, Album: Land Of The Free II (2007)


Hey, this world's a dying planet
nothing matters, nothing's won
I have come to seek revenge
for all that you have done

Hate and fear, eternal sadness
nothing matters, no one cares
I am here to stop the madness
free you from despair

Once I heard the white dove sing
it was the sound of peace
beauty dies in agony
crushed under debris

She was so beautiful
she was a dream
and when I cry for her
I hear them scream..

No respect, no heart for nature
led by greed they tear our soil
ripped, the sky, the damage major
the air is at the boil

Here create another wasteland
on and on 'til nothing's there
here it comes, the devastation
poisoning the air

Once I saw the eagle fly
it was the sound of peace
beauty dies in agony
crushed under debris

She was so beautiful
she was a dream
and when I cry for her
I hear them scream..

You were so beautiful
you were a dream
all we shall heed the call
shall be redeemed

She was so beautiful
she was a dream
and when I cry for her
I hear them scream..
Oh Mother Earth
You were so beautiful
just like a dream
all we shall heed the call
shall be redeemed
Yeah!


Poetic lyrics about environmental destruction. Artist imagine himself as a superhero that comes to save the planet. But such a perspective is nonsense in reality. Only acting by ourselves we can save the planet, no leader, no hero, no god, no superman.
