[Homines Fabula Finis]
"See me"
"Hear me"
"Need me"
Some things will never change
"Touch me"
"Heal
me"
Mankind remains the same
Oceans
Forests
Nations
Now everything bears our name
While Earth is bleeding
Nothing
will remain
Nothing prevails
We were stuck in this world of change
Expecting it to remain
Now nothing is left
unstained
No!
When there's nothing more that we can trade
Own
Steal
Or sell
When there's nothing whole
because we took it apart
And
Just left
Moved on
When there's nothing left for us to break
Use
Abuse
Or
rape
Then you're free to count how much you saved
I can see the ways we fail
I can see us fall so easily
A structure
far too frail
I can see 40,000 years of knowledge and history
Invested in this child
Spoiled and stained by proud
divinity
Gaining at best the perspective and wisdom
Of not even a fleeting century
We have now reached the final ten
thousandth of a second
of our evolutionary year, as we hit 2,000 at a birth rate
of 250 people a minute
Tell me
How are we
supposed to survive?
If we're acting like fools
All dropping dead to stay alive?
Someone tell me
Please just show me
If
there's nothing to do, God we'll turn to you
But if we're an image of you
I reckon you are just as puzzled and ugly too
You
think we have developed fast; that we're civilized and intelligent
I'll let you in on a secret: we have developed Things!
The rest
is simply knowledge passed on
(I can see us drain this world
I can see us buying loss too cheap
Terra Sterilia washing its
bronken hand of us now
Creation's blackest sheep!)
Hell, 99% of humanity couldn't put together a simple light bulb if you
put a
gun to their heads!
And the intellect rubs off on fear
The year 2,010 AD: 6,823 Million people
2,020 AD: 7,518 Million
people
2,030 AD: 8,140 Million people
2,040 AD: 8,668 Million people
2,050 AD: 9,104 Million people
I can see us read the
signs
But spell them out in backward travesty
I see us close our eyes
To all the wounds that we inflict to this world by being
"free"
We love this world to death
Purchasing our lifestyles with our lives
Defending our momentarily nations
With the loss of
our priceless earthly home
It's not hard to reach the top
It's not hard not knowing when to stop
It's not hard to take
all
Not very difficult to fly if you settle for a fall
It's not hard to cross a line
It's not hard to push and go to far
Some
creatures cannot climb
Then there are us who cannot even learn how to stay alive
I'm sorry!
For the things we did and did not
do
Forgive us; the fools that rushed ahead without a clue
I am sorry
Please forgive us
For this human lack of humanity
This
evolutionary travesty
This tragedy called "Man"
...called "Man"...
I'm sorry!
For the things we did and didn't
do
Forgive us; the fools that rushed ahead without a single clue
...without a single clue...
