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

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

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

Centuries of war and waste
Have dealt a mortal blow
Mother Earth is now no more
There's nothing left to heal

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
