Human has long subverted the earth
with fire, sword and bomb he's monitored it
What do we care about the future? We are absolved in prayer
"Forgive me my greed, for mine is the planet"
We preach love and wage war daily
We don't fight for goals, only for our own victory
We don't say "Please", we just scream "I want"
Half the world hungers, half the world stands still
Nuclear explosion, what does it even mean?
Fire trapped in cement?
We hid the waste in the waters
For what can go wrong?
We don't ask, we take, we live our greed
For after us the floods will come, but we come first.
We call ourselves the crown of creation
the heroes of evolution
the masterpiece of the universe
behaves like the inquisition
We wear the crown of creation
more like a carnival hat
drunk with delusions of grandeur
humanity feels noble and good
and absolute...
We lost conscience in excess
And when reminded, clock up our ears
We live without mercy and cheer to health
Giants if wasteful behavior with never-ending appetites
Creation is so delightful.
From darkness- the first light -the first day
A heavenly tent and earth: land and water
What she wanted, took place.
A seed -a swarm of birds
born out of nothing
Yet humans wanted more
You and I, we were made
because someone took up a path
that was called "Love"
The one chance for everyone
that was left to us.
Maybe we have some more time
to understand society
and humility
are the paths to eternity
We call ourselves the crown of creation
the heroes of evolution
the masterpiece of the universe
behaves like the inquisition
We wear the crown of creation
more like a carnival hat
drunk with delusions of grandeur
humanity feels noble and good
and absolute...
We're robbing our children of the future of their world
Why live in subservience, it bring in too little money.
We sacrifice our forests to the god of steel-cement
And everyone builds their own private Babylon
