In the emerald cathedral

In the valley of clouds

In the span of the branches

Two eyes keep the watch

Where the hummingbird dances

And the snake hesitates

With the calm of command

The jaguar waits



The chain saw is whining the bulldozer roars

Monkeys are screeching in flight

The spires of the Arawak cut down at one blow

Where will the jaguar go

Where will the jaguar go



Under the hammer of hunger

On the anvil of fear

The poor of Sao Paolo

Stream to the frontier

With the promise of farmland

Honest work honest pay

Till the rains unrelenting

Sweep the topsoil away



The captains of cattle take the land cheap

New York and Osaka crave beef

Hooves crush the dirt into dust below

Where will the jaguar go

Where will the jaguar go



When the circle is broken

When the crystal is cracked

When the thread of creation is torn

We slip through the veil into terrors unknown

Where will the jaguar go



In the canyons of commerce

In convoys of light

The armies of loneliness

Drive into the night

Trading plastic for plastic

Making fashion of trash

We are dreaming of love

As love turns to ash

The fires of Prometheus flare to the sky

The seas of the prophets boil dry

This gutted globe was a garden I'm told

Where will the jaguar go

Where will the jaguar go

Where will the jaguar go
