Released on April 19th, in honor of Earth Day.
Midas is a song about the catastrophic impact that humanity's greed has on nature, the environment, the Earth, and on humanity itself.
With a cinematic soundscape that seems to originate from another place and time, “Midas” takes the traditional story of Midas, with a slightly tweaked mythology, context, and setting, and brings nature and Mother Earth to the forefront, warning of the tragic impact that humanity’s greed could have on our world, our environment, the Earth, and everything we care about.
lyrics
Do you really
Need more?
Do you really
Need your war?
When the world turns dry
And mother earth grows cold,
Will you breathe your money,
Or will you drink your gold?
And do you know
What they feel?
So they’re different,
But their pain is real.
So helpless,
While we take their homes,
They suffer
While we sit on thrones.
So let it go,
Don’t need your gold,
But Mother Earth,
We need her.
Do you really
Need more?
Do you know
What you're wishing for?
When the world turns dry
And mother Earth grows cold,
Will you breathe your money,
Or will you drink your gold?
And do you know
What they feel?
We share the same sky
And the same fears.
When they've left our side
And we walk alone,
Will you still be smiling
On your throne?
So let it go,
Don’t need your gold,
But Mother Earth,
We need her.
