From a Celestial Throne

From up in the stars
I look back on our earth
I see a prisoner's dwelling
Needing to be cleansed
From afar it looks wondrous
Enigmatic and serene
But when it's viewed more closely
The filth can be seen

From up in the stars
They laugh at our dreams
They see the foolishness
Of our quarrels and beliefs
How mortal man has wandered
So far from the path
And now the beasts await
To feast on our mistakes

From a celestial throne
I see a vision of burning trees
The blackened seeds are sown
A cosmic thunder will bury our screams
From a celestial throne
I'll watch the mortal earth tremble
The blackened seeds have grown
And from beneath the earth they strangle
