Here on Planet Earth A traveller gave me lucky heather A poacher ran into a field Dogs gave chase to a rabbit that day Here on Planet Earth Children playing in their School yards Now taking action on the street Putting to shame the things that we have done Here on Planet Earth And if you’re trying to change the world a day at a time And you’re wondering why the Earth is so in decline Rise up, Rise up, Rise up It’s hard to get the message over Some people are not listening now There’s little time for us to change Here on Planet Earth The consequences are quite simple Extinction of the human race But there’s a need to spell things out Here on Planet Earth Two hundred species lost every day The world is warming up everyday Ice caps melting everyday People trying to survive this planets total Ecocide And if you’re trying to change the world a day at a time And you’re wondering why the Earth is so in decline Rise up, Rise up, Rise up Rise up, Rise up, Rise up It’s not a protest you can hide from Daily disruption everywhere But let’s be strong right here right now Here on Planet Earth And if you’re trying to change the world a day at a time And you’re wondering what to do to stop this decline Rise up, Rise up, Rise up Rise up, Rise up, Rise up

The Amazon is Burning The Amazon is burning please wake up The Amazon is burning please wake up The Amazon is burning please wake up The Amazon is burning please wake up First they send the loggers in and then they cut the trees Forcing all the people out and killing all the species Using intimidation and violence too The unspeakable horrors that they put the people through You call it progress for your country, But Mr Bolsonaro can’t you see The wood for the trees, the smoke through the leaves You are killing all humanity The Amazon is burning please wake up The Amazon is burning please wake up The Amazon is burning please wake up The Amazon is burning please wake up When Notre Dame Cathedral burned the media had a field day Watching all the people kneel and pray They wanted to restore it to its former glory, But as the Amazon burns they just want to ignore it Climate change deniers say ‘what is new’, ‘forest fires will break every year’, that’s true. But the scale of the fires can be seen from outer space as the smoke fumes below out the carbon traces The Amazon is burning please wake up The Amazon is burning please wake up The Amazon is burning please wake up The Amazon is burning please wake up Fight back let’s put out the fire Don’t listen to those climate change deniers Fight back let’s put out the fire Don’t listen to those climate change deniers We’re not above the natural world We are in a climate crisis you will learn That every action has a reaction So please wake up and take some action The Amazon is burning please wake up The Amazon is burning please wake up The Amazon is burning please wake up The Amazon is burning please wake up Fight back let’s put out the fire Don’t listen to those climate change deniers Fight back let’s put out the fire Don’t listen to those climate change deniers Fight back

Who's that striding through the gorse, sent from the city, here to enforce a series of measures required to maintain species in danger in their natural range? He sits cross-legged on the loam, focusing his attention upon your home He writes a report about the life that you have been leading You deliberately disturb specimens during the period of breeding Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild flora and fauna The Habitats Directive As habitats continue to deteriorate, enforce the directive before it's too late As habitats continue to deteriorate, enforce the directive before it's too late --- source: The Habitats Directive Articles 1 and 12.

Once we're gone life will take over ruins overgrown and only memories of laughter blowing in the wind Once we're gone green will take over cities overgrown and only memories of violence rusting in the air Once we're gone wilderness will blossom roads overgrown and only memories of traffic molding in the grass Once we're gone animals will wander bridges overgrown and only memories of humans buried in the ground...

We're standing here for this is an emergency We're standing here for all that we hold dear We're standing here for beauty and diversity and we're standing in the love that binds us all And we demand that goverment must tell the truth And they must act as if the truth is real And we demand a Citizens' Assembly to urgently create a green new deal We're rising up! We stand here in Rebellion And we declare that ecocide's a crime In love and rage and peaceful disobedience the signs are clear: we're running out of time

about

The Truth:
We are facing an unprecedented global emergency. Life on Earth is in crisis: scientists agree we have entered a period of abrupt climate breakdown, and we are in the midst of a mass extinction of our own making.

Extinction Rebellion:
Extinction Rebellion is an international movement made up of people from every sort of background. We use non-violent civil disobedience in an attempt to promote the truth of, and halt the negative effects of, ongoing climate change, the real risk of mass extinction and minimise the likely risk of social collapse.

Voices of the Rebellion:
Voices of the Rebellion is a fund-raising and outreach project organised by Devon-based musicians and artists to raise money for the rebellion and to raise awareness for our cause. All these fabulous musicians and artists have donated their time, songs and talent for free, so, your money will go directly towards supporting the rebellion itself. Please Donate Generously! Thank You!

Compilation Vol. 1:
Our first compilation, (...more to come!), features climate and environmentally-related songs and material composed, written and recorded by Devon-based musicians, who also are supporters of Extinction Rebellion. It's a colourful mix of various genres ranging from electronic and experimental music to rock, reggae, folk, gospel and choir music, which showcases the artistic soul and diversity of the rebellion. Enjoy!
