COLD AND HUNGRY A MAN AND HIS WIFE
LEAD A SIMPLE SHORT MISERABLE LIFE
HUNT AND GATHER FOOD THEY BARELY SURVIVE
BLACK DEATH TOOK THEIR SON WHEN HE WAS JUST FIVE
FROM THE DARK WE ROSE A THOUSAND YEARS
AND EVERY STEP WE FACED A THOUSAND FEARS
THE SOUND OF BATTLE FADES FROM OUR EARS
OVER CENTURIES A RIVER OF TEARS
MODERN ERA WHERE TECHNOLOGY RULES
NOW OUR LIVES DEPEND ON FOSSIL FUELS
IS IT WORTH THE PRICE THE TIME WE GAIN
DESTROY THIS PLANET AND IT'S ALL IN VAIN
WHY IS HUMANITY SO DESTINED TO FAIL
BURNED OUT RUINS WE LEAVE IN OUR TRAIL
AS OUR JUDGEMENT DAY SO QUICKLY DRAWS NEAR
WARNINGS ABOUND THAT FEW SEEM TO HEAR
BACK TO DARKNESS FOR A THOUSAND YEARS
AND EVERY STEP REPLACE A THOUSAND FEARS
THE SOUND OF BATTLE GROWS IN OUR EARS
INTO THE FUTURE A RIVER OF TEARS
