Not our world or the species therein
And yet we poisoned our planet
And our anger transplanted
My eyes look across the plain
And I burn in a deeper shame
For what there no longer is, is by our hands
A sacrifice of innocence in the flames
Now I walk in irradiated deserts
Sands cover cities we once built
High and ever glorious
We created systems, teaming with existence
Until we chose to destroy, enter divorce
With nature we then split
Our souls preferred to sleep with Morpheus
Dreaming of greatness while giving in to the resistance
We became the spear that pierced
The body of god, oh great shame, great guilt
Building machines, in our image so obvious
We passed from view, due to our lack of persistence
We cursed the land
By the acts of every hand
We wanted to become gods
Instead, we became the damned
Standing before God we cry
How should we have known
But we chose our kind of suicide
And now we've nearly all passed and died
