about

Inspired by the photo (opposite) which appeared in The Independent newspaper – I see the white wind turbines facing down the belching chimneys of the cooling towers at the Drax power station in Yorkshire. Who can really complain that they make noise when the alternative is such dirty energy?

lyrics

Drax (The Dragon & The Samurai)

They huff and puff their plumes of heated breath
into an atmosphere already raw.
These earthbound dragons, guarding nests of death,
fighting for dominance with tooth and claw.
Their carbon offspring doze beneath their feet
or bleed out into nuclear decay -
a fair trade for their gifts of light and heat?
Perhaps we will regret that choice one day.

For what is this? A champion in white
with spinning arms and blades as sharp as swords,
an ecological Samurai knight
come to slay the wheezing wyrm cancer Lords.
Yet they are turned away and shunned by those
who prefer silence when the wild wind blows.
