Mother Earth lyrics

She holds the spirits of the past

The remnants, the relics concealed

Kept in her soil vaults decrepit

The forces of time ravage on

Civilizations entombed stilled

That eons shall pass in suspension

And stone replaced the living

Eternal darkness safekept

Only wonder can know ruin

The siftings sands pass through

Fingers of flesh akin soon

Where eternity's void spans

Only men who know death

That understand mortality's grip

Would dig into the past dead

To accentuate their living yet

What grand reward awaits

When tomb robbers slink

And archeologists process

Without regard for hope gone

The continuum of life then

Gives men a measure of faith

So they lives beyond themselves

That hope sustains them

Rooms of relics gilded too

Canoptic jars and scrolls

Thieves have come and gone

But life escapes them still

The earth holds the spirits of the past

The remnants, the relics concealed

Kept in her soil vaults decrepit

The forces of time still ravage on
