    Story Behind the Song
    A rock song about the Earth's environment gone wrong.

    In the not to distant future the human race finally succombs to the temptation to just do it and blow each other to hell again. Several hundred years of industrial wars and the constant fueding of the have's and the have not's push the human spirit to the breaking point. It will be many more centuries before the earth recovers from this new dark age. Perhaps a millenium of stunted development. From space the bright blue jewel of the solar system is greyish green and spotted with chemical fires as the air ignites with lightning strikes that spread across the sky. In small groups all that is left of the human race sits stunned and scarred, huddled around campfires glowing along the hillsides. Back to the beginning.

    This could be our sad legacy. If we want a happy ending to this story, we'll have to write it ourselves, day by day. In all the little ways as well as in scientific and sociological leaps. We must demand a better future. Demand it of ourselves and our governments. .

    Lyrics
    Hole In The Sun
    © 1999 Jim Rivers

    Running from the burning skies we left the cities
    No one lives there any more except in pity
    Magnetic fires and poison fumes creeping down the hollow rooms
    Like living in a hole in the sun

    Back where it all had begun
    Back in a hole in the sun

    Burning rain and broken light
    Campfires that glow in the night
    St. John if you see me coming on the run
    Don't stop me to give me a hole in the sun

    Say hello to everyone
    In a hole in the sun

    Stone gods with granite eyes scan the morning
    Build your bombs, crack the sky you've heard the warnings
    You don't know what you've done put your gods on the run
    Presiding from a hole in the sun

    Save your gods send your guns
    Into a hole in the sun

    Burning rain and broken light
    Campfires that glow in the night
    St. John if you see me coming on the run
    I've already been to a hole in the sun

    Say hello to everyone in a hole in the sun
    Hole in the sun, hole in the...
    Say hello to everyone in a hole in the sun
