About the utter failure that occurred in Copenhagen in December 2009.
On the first day morning…. The winter sun is rising on this cold city Where our future will be judged Decision makers from each country And much too grudge
Drawing the future in your golden planes… Please remember we are living in the same plains… Standing still Watching you… waiting for… a new deal We just ask you to share the bill For us the damages are already… real…
Chorus: You had the power To turn the tide What have you done with your cash and your damn pride?
What a cold shower! The hope of us all Is fading away like a last station call
What have you done?
Each of your wrong, but mighty, decision Guided by financial considerations Is one punch more in my face Is one bomb more in my place In my life…
Discussions? Negotiations? We needed a common healing It has just been another meeting A matter of life and death? A matter of financial health?
Are you really conscious that you are unconscious? Will our hopes… fall again? Condemning the climate and also the precious… Link… The precious Chain
You fools! You’re no leaders – you are traders! I can’t “keep cool” Cos’ we can’t wait another year… For you a billion dollars… is just loose change… as are our lives!...
[Chorus]
Do you know Me? (I’m) dead in Copenhagen Do you see Me? (I’m) dead in Copenhagen
Wind & Words Talking like windmills Trading for… the right to kill Dying – drowning
Oh please, catch my hand… My Forest is soon to be destroyed – flooded My Island is soon to be destroyed - flooded What become of our hope? …A might have been
For you, my land is just a holidays place… My ocean, my river… a swimming pool…
Water… It used to feed us… It’s now killing us… Water… Is rising Anger… Is increasing Soon we’ll have to be confronted with the walls… of the cemented Cemetery
[Chorus]
Do you know Me? I’m living far away Dead in Copenhagen Do you see Me? ‘Cos I’m on your way Dead in Copenhagen
With you!
Now my war is lost… I’m down… I drown… I hope you’ll be luckier than me… I was just a poor fisherman
