From the reaches of space
Down to throes of a planet in agony
All of our sins were committed sincerely
Believe ourselves higher than the natural order
We reached high but never knew our goal was limited
By the wounds we could inflict without killing our home
Like Atlantis before us
The heights of culture matter not one bit
This planet has seen humans pass before her eyes
And we cannot disguise our motives of greed and hate
We imagine ourselves to be engineers, architects, dreamers
But there is nothing in the is world we've built that will last long
Not more than the mountains or ocean depths, the beauty of nature
Only the depths of peril of pollution, destruction and decay that we have created
