But I knew exactly where I was
And I knew the meaning of it all
And I knew the distance to the sun

And I knew the solitude of heart
And I knew the murmurs of the soul
And the world is drawn into your hands
And the world is etched upon your heart
And the world so hard to understand
Is the world you can't live withoooooout!

Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Global Warming by Gojira

In honor of Earth Day, today's Metal Track comes from Gojira who are known for their environmental activism and environmentally themed lyrics. Last year the band released an incredible live performance of Global Warming off of their 2004 album From Mars to Sirius.

From the band: A few weeks ago, we played Global Warming together for the first time since the recording of From Mars To Sirius (2004). We never played it live before, as it is a challenging one to play, and place in a set list. It’s emotionally heavy, and would almost “hurt” the rest of the songs in a way. We just really wanted to do this on camera for  our fans.  Global warming is a reality and a relevant topic, we feel it’s good to be reminded of one of the most important challenges of our time: How to grow as a species without being a parasite to our planet, the only home we have. “We will see our children growing” is a mantra for future generations, and in a figurative way we hope the children in all of us will grow, evolve, and take action for a more compassionate and meaningful world.
