Smoldered

A life of fear A life of trepidation A home now scorched Beyond all recognition Displaced, disgraced A mother clings to her child What once was clean and pure Has now been turned to bile Only asking for a simple change From the so called apex species Smoke covers the air, black Flames erupt below, ash The remains of our kin rain down In the end, the earth will prevail Laughing through the dying man's wails Ecosystems shattered They too, soon will suffer Condemned to a future that is bleak Will they discover what has truly mattered Forsaken, they know what they must seek Smoke covers the air, black Flames erupt below, ash The remains of our kin rain down In the end, the earth will prevail Laughing through the dying man's wails A life of fear A life of trepidation A home now scorched Beyond all recognition Displaced, disgraced A mother clings to her child What once was clean and pure Has now been turned to bile Gaia bleeds As they bend the earth to their will We all bleed As they bend the earth to their will Gaia bleeds As they bend the earth to their will We all bleed As they bend the earth to their will Gaia bleeds As they bend the earth to their will We all bleed As they bend the earth to their will
