In tribute to the now burning Amazon...and a rallying cry against global warming:
Lyrics:

I've been living here a billon years or more
You're ready to burn me up, so get set for war
My world's been set on fire, like a knife in the back
This is your final warning, prepare for attack

Can't you hear me crying
Get ready for the no zone
Get ready!

To bite the hand that feeds you, it's like a time bomb ready to blow
You scorch and rape the land, look at Borneo
Too much, too little, too late, chemicals take to the air
They're gonna burn another hole in the sky, you'd better say your
prayers

Can't you hear me crying
I'm trying to send a message out to you
It's time to put out the fire
Get ready for the no zone

Dream and pray, the ozone mustn't burn away
Try to run but you'll never hide, it's global suicide
Why aren't you listening to me
You'd better listen
I've been living here a billion years or more
You're ready to burn me up, so get set for war
My world's been set on fire, like a knife in the back
This is your final warning, prepare for attack

Can't you hear me crying
I'm trying to send a message out to you
It's time to put out the fire
Get ready for the no zone
 
I don't know how you guys feel about Japanese music, but this song in particular really reminds me of... like...... olden day Japanese culture. The outfits in the music video playing in the background and everything.

However, it has Spanish subtitles... so if you don't mind looking at those...





The moonlight?s guidance will

shine on and heal this wandering soul.

The fleeting moonlight? continues to fade.

As if telling time about this wonderful night.





Where will you dance from this love?

Even with many different emotions,

as long as that love is around,

I can stand and bloom proudly.





The time of the falling seasons will

turn into spring as the snow thaws

from this pure white world.





When the fragrance of the snow, moon, and flowers surface, I think of you.

That infinite heart of yours will never be torn.





The past, the present, and the future, too.

All of those are a part of life.

I love you.

I love you.





I want to be together.

This sorrow, this eternity,

I want to embrace it.





No matter what happens, the moon won?t disappear.

Even if the clouds carry the tears of the falling rain,

someday soon? the sun will come out.

The scattered stars will protect you.





As long as there?s a beginning, there can be an end.

A flower?s entire life?

As long as your heart remains pure,

courage can continue to bloom.





It?s because we know what coldness feels like

that we can notice the warmth,

and the gentleness of hands touching together.





When the fragrance of the snow, moon, and flowers surface, I think of you.

I will collect all of this world?s words of love,

and these kisses that I have gathered

will pass over everything.

I won?t let you go.

I won?t let you go.

Forever and ever.

Sadness and even happiness,

let?s share them.





Even now I feel like I?ll still lose to anxiety and sorrow.

It feels as if my heart will burst.

When that happens, I remember?

Yes? This is not a dream.





When the fragrance of the snow, moon, and flowers surface, I think of you.

That infinite heart of yours will never be torn.





You gave me this utopia.

You gave me a [reason to live]

I love you.

I love you.

For your sake?

I want it to reach you, I want to tell you

this song!​
 
^Reminds me a lot of Stevie Nicks. Very nice.


I've always really liked this song, along with other popular German pop songs from the 80s, but now that I'm actually taking a German class I'm even more interested in it! lol

Also the story behind the lyrics is fascinating to me, especially since I have a keen interest in the Cold War.
