Edict 73

 This song reminds me of the struggle we all have between wealth (more clearly defined as mammon) and God.

[The Seed by AURORA]

Just like the seed

I don't know where to go

Through dirt and shadow, I grow

I'm reaching light through the struggle

Just like the seed

I'm chasing the wonder

I unravel myself

All in slow motion

You cannot eat money, oh no

You cannot eat money, oh no

When the last tree has fallen

And the rivers are poisoned

You cannot eat money, oh no

You cannot eat money, oh no

You cannot eat money, oh no

When the last tree has fallen

And the rivers are poisoned

You cannot eat money, oh no

Oh no

Suffocate me

So my tears can be rain

I will water the ground where I stand

So the flowers can grow back again

'Cause just like the seed

Everything wants to live

We are burning our fingers

But we learn and forgive

You cannot eat money, oh no

You cannot eat money, oh no

When the last tree has fallen

And the rivers are poisoned

You cannot eat money, oh no

You cannot eat money, oh no

You cannot eat money, oh no

When the last tree has fallen

And the rivers are poisoned

You cannot eat money, oh no

Oh no

Feed me sunlight, feed me air

In a place where nothing matters

Feed me truth and feed me prayer (dancing around a shooting star)

And every cell remembers

Feed me sunlight, feed me air (that have taken us this far)

I see images of killer whales

Feed me truth and feed me prayers (sleeping in a desert trail)

Dreaming of a parallel world where nothing ever hurts

Dreaming of a parallel world where nothing ever hurts

You cannot eat money, oh no

You cannot eat money, oh no

When the last tree has fallen

And the rivers are poisoned

You cannot eat money, oh no

You cannot eat money, oh no

You cannot eat money, oh no

When the last tree has fallen

And the rivers are poisoned

You cannot eat money, oh no

Oh no
