Imperiled Eyes

Centuries of war and waste Have dealt a mortal blow Mother Earth begins to rot Humanity on death row Life does slowly cease to be Death seems so surreal As Earth becomes a vacant lot There's nothing left to heal Chorus: No color in the skies No one left to blame And we thought we were wise As I fade, I feel revived Shocked back into life Opening imperiled eyes Imperiled eyes Cessation of physical life Blackness rains from above What right did power have To annihilate the Earth I loved Now a barren wasteland The die is cast A planet that once did teem with life No evidence of a past Repeat Chorus Centuries of war and waste Have dealt a mortal blow Mother Earth is now no more There's nothing left to heal Repeat Chorus
