lyrics

All lyrics for Wild's Reprisal songs are excerpts from essays by ecological philosophers. In a genera of music that is heavily influenced by nature, it is critical to expand that love of the wild into action on behalf of the natural word. Having a philosophical basis for that action will only further one's resolve and effectiveness.
This song is dedicated to Carolyn Merchant. The lyrical content from this song is a reading from Merchant’s essay “The Death of Nature”. The Death of Nature: Women, Ecology, and the Scientific Revolution, published in 1980, presented a view of the Scientific Revolution that challenged the hegemony of mechanistic science as a marker of progress. It argued that seventeenth-century science could be implicated in the ecological crisis, the domination of nature, and the devaluation of women in the production of scientific knowledge. In combination with increasing industrialization and the rise of capitalism that simultaneously replaced women's work like weaving with machinery, and subsumed their roles as subsistence agriculturists also drove people to live in cities, further removing them from nature and the effects of industrialised production on it. The combined effects of industrialization, scientific exploration of nature and the ascendancy of the dominion/domination metaphor over the nurturing Mother Earth one, according to Merchant, can still be felt in social and political thought, as much as it was evident in the art, philosophy and science of the 16th century.
