Where did we go wrong? Woodpecker why have you stopped singing your song?
What have we done to you, what have you become?
We've come a long way but how far did we really come?
To make you stop singing your beautiful song?
Our ways of the wicked, of power and greed.
We've transformed you from the beautiful thing you were to fulfill our need.
Stripped you of your freedom, stripped you of your voice.
Your life is in our hands now, there is no other choice.
We have molded you and corrupt you to our desire.
We will have you burn everything you love with fire.
