Athabasca

[Intro]
Up on the flatlands of Big Alberta
The Athabasca river flows
Forging life through
Changing seasons
She carries now what we dispose
In the darkness
Lepers come creeping
From the towers of some court
To this day no land's been ravaged
In a scale like this before

[Pre-Chorus]
A-a-a-atha
Ba-a-a-asca
A-a-a-atha
Ba-a-a-asca

[Chorus]
My friend, if you'd looked hard
Can't keep dancing with the stars
The first nation's befall
A dime of falling
If a parallel be crewed
Or forewater will be stewed
Scraping every living thing into a grill
Eliminating hills
Birds are going still
Then landing in a spill

[Verse 2]
Take a hole
Away from sunlight
Scrape the earth
Before it shakes
Paint the sky
Beneath the ozone
Ride the waves
Of toxic waste

[Bridge]
O-o-o-o-o-oh...
O-o-o-o-o-oh...

[Pre-Chorus]
A-a-a-atha
Ba-a-a-asca
A-a-a-atha
Ba-a-a-asca

[Chorus]
My friend, if you'd looked hard
Can't keep dancing with the stars
The first nation's befall
A dime of falling
If a parallel be crewed
Or forewater will be stewed
Scraping every living thing into a grill
Eliminating hills
Birds are going still
Then landing in a spill

[Chorus]
My friend, if you'd looked hard
Can't keep dancing with the stars
The first nation's befall
A dime of falling
If a parallel be crewed
Or forewater will be stewed
Scraping every living thing into a grill
Eliminating hills
Birds are going still
Then landing in a spill
We're landing in a spill

[Outro]
Spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill
Wo-o-o-oah
Spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill
Wo-o-o-oah
Spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill
Wo-o-o-oah
Spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill
Wo-o-o-oah...
