A

might-

y

flame

e-

rupts

to

the

sky,

rain-

ing

down

in

ash-

es.

An

arc-

tic

surge

swells

to

the

sand.

We

mourn

as

hea-

ven

crash-

es.

The

chi-

ld

weeps

now

for

the

loss

of

his

on-

ly

bro-

ther.

En-

tombed

in

a

shell

of

an-

cient

stone,

cold

and

smo-

thered.

Mo-

ther

Earth,

in-

voke

the

bones

of

all

be-

low.

Re-

turn

to

the

sur-

face

a-

new

to

be-

gin

a-

gain.

Drain

the

o-

ceans,

swal-

low

the

shores.

Burn

the

fo-

rests

to

the

floor.

The

ru-

in

of

man,

the

Earth

en-

dures.

There

will

be

no-

thing

more.

The

ra-

bid

beast

stalks

the

land;

stole

the

bo-

dy

from

the

tomb.

Raped

the

sin

in-

to

the

lamb.

Taste

the

fruit

of

thy

womb.

Now

all

is

for-

sa-

ken,

all

is

un-

done,

Con-

sumed

in

the

fi-

re

of

the

set-

ting

sun.

The

day

shall

come

to

pass,

as

the

dark

of

night

falls.

The

light

slips

from

our

grasp.

The

plight

of

rap-

ture

calls.

There's

no

es-

cape

from

what

we've

done.

The

mo-

ther's

re-

demp-

tion.

Re-

claim

your

sons.

Drain

the

o-

ceans,

swal-

low

the

shores.

Burn

the

fo-

rests

to

the

floor.

The

ru-

in

of

man,

the

Earth

en-

dures.

There

will

be

no-

thing

more.

And

so

the

beast

was

turned

on

by

the

stock.

No

lon-

ger

the

shep-

herd,

now

hun-

ted

by

the

flock.

Our

blood

shall

nou-

rish

the

fields

in

crim-

son

and

rust.

E-

den

to

dust.

As

we

des-

troy

our-

selves

in

end-

less

cy-

cles,

a

pa-

tient

kil-

ler

a-

waits

re-

pri-

sal.

Eye

for

an

eye,

re-

pri-

sal.

Eye

for

an

eye,

re-

pri-

sal.

Drain

the

o-

ceans,

swal-

low

the

shores.

Burn

the

fo-

rests

to

the

floor.

The

ru-

in

of

man,

the

Earth

en-

dures.

There

will

be

no-

thing

more.

Mo-

ther

Earth,

in-

voke

the

bones

of

all

be-

low.

Re-

turn

to

the

sur-

face

a-

new

to

be-

gin

a-

gain.

In

the

wind,

we

fade

a-

way.

In

the

tides,

sink

and

de-

cay.

All

we

were

shall

be

re-

placed.

All

we've

done

shall

be

e-

rased.

Set

free

the

fi-

re

in

your

heart.

Mo-

ther

Earth,

take

us

back

to

the

start!
