Reborn Into Demise

The message said the world was dying
The planet's life was at an end
The monuments of men were crumbling
Cities drowning in the sand
Demise of an ailing nation
The machines of greed they fed
They led their realm to starvation
Now the engineers are dead

Thus they turned the cradle into a grave
Earth took back the treasures she once gave
Deep among the ruins grew a thorn
Extinction of a race, a new life was born

Answering the last transmission
We discovered a paradise
A world of endless green
And lifeforms never seen
Our leaders started a mission
We began our own demise
The machines of greed we fed
As a planet once more bled

Thus we turned the cradle into a grave
Taking back the treasures she once gave
Her old scars are bleeding, Earth is torn
How many times can nature be reborn - to another death

Senseless
We study but we never learn
Ravenous
We only see our gain
Blind
We fail to see the tables turn
Deaf
When nature roars in pain

Citadels that graze the stars
Slowly turning into scars

Senseless
We study but we never learn
Ravenous
We only see our gain
Blind
We fail to see the tables turn
Deaf
When nature roars in pain
