Pain
No gain
Acid rain can't wash it clean
Brothers and sisters are dying
blood soaking into an earth unstable
Forests weep sullen, futile tears
roots torn asunder
Four leggeds scattered to foreign places, spaces
Falling into freezing waters
No land in sight for miles
And so they swim on
across the divide to the other place
the only place
where all things...end.


Hollow tears are shed
borne on the wind of lies
a world in mourning
No end in sight
Unless we step up to the plate
And knock some sense home


Let it be sooner than later
we've not much time left
before we all wind up
in the place where all things...end.
