the chill of an ancient wind/the cries of forgotten pasts/we have left her bleeding/we have left her to rot/we are the plague/we are the rats/there were no tears left/"the earth died screaming"/there is no truth to set us free/inflictions of a world diseased/a light goes out that once burned bright/we have done this to ourselves/the hole grows wider as the shovel digs/cultures lost to a wretched destiny/nothing can stop it, the damage is done/we have done this to ourselves/I hear the drums of redemption/I hear the screams of humanity/destroy what has held us back/this eulogy for the dead and gone
