Coral's life
Fate of a peaceful organism
Someway victim of its altruism
Today endangered
Most ancient ecosystem on earth
Safest place to live or to give birth
25% of known fishes live in the coral reef
It is the most diversified ecosystem on earth
Million years, it takes to grow bigger
(But) A few years to disappear
What was paradise's Now Hell!
Chorus
We must prevent your destruction
(I am – the soul – of the ocean)
Rainforest of the silent place (I'm aching)
Shelter of the Rainbow nation
(Suffering – from – your indifference)
Essential for any race (I'm dying)
Crashed … shattered
Crushed ... Ignored
Source of knowledge, food and medicine
You protect the shores
Corals provide medicines used to cure Alzheimer and Parkinson's diseases
The Coral reef protects the shores from wave erosion
But "must-have" souvenir from paradise
Suffocating as mercury rises
What was paradise's Now Hell!
Chorus
Take the time to look at it
Part of you is part of it
(It's) not a lie, do you know it?
Something under the surface
Pray for pity, for a grace
Wave at you for a caress
See all the joy it has brought to them
For so many years
I want a rest in this Haven
Take on board for a trip under zero
Come and fly with us, just a step below
We keep on living (Paradise)
The reef is dying (Hell)
Can't you hear the Whales' cry?
The reef's heart is running dry
Chorus +
Stop your crime or I'll change…
By My tide: My Revenge!
If we repent now
Will you forgive us? Our Hell
What Was Paradise's Now Hell
Piece by piece falling apart
(I) hope it's not too late
To save coral's fate
Damages done - Oil slicks
Cracking bones
We got to be quick
This is not a secret
I'm fed up with your lies!
Everybody knows – I'm dying!
They can buy the future
Can they stop the tide?
Simple words are sometimes right
Simple is not naive
Please forget your pride
Try to be a little wise…
Can you stop the countdown?
Put off our crown?
If you look out of your towns…
Five, four, three, two, one, ZERO!
