Humans can't recognize her painful screams
As our Mother Earth utters her plaintive cry
We'll crush life in ocean depths, remove wild life
We'll terrorize the forest, burn all living greens
Polluting the waters, dump chemicals in her sky
We are her enemy, but are called upon as guards
Earth's atmosphere is full of permanent pollutants
That are there as we in our arrogance did not stop
Even when called on to be her stewards, at last
Not thieves of the future, not arrogant children
We are only here for a moment, but not Earth
She'll be here, after we've reached extinction
And our actions have left behind damnation
But the scars we leave behind, are forever
As our Mother Earth utters her plaintive cry
We'll crush life in ocean depths, remove wild life
We'll terrorize the forest, burn all living greens
Polluting the waters, dump chemicals in her sky
We are her enemy, but are called upon as guards
Earth's atmosphere is full of permanent pollutants
That are there as we in our arrogance did not stop
Even when called on to be her stewards, at last
Not thieves of the future, not arrogant children
We are only here for a moment, but not Earth
She'll be here, after we've reached extinction
And our actions have left behind damnation
But the scars we leave behind, are forever
