Pain of Salvation - Nihil Morari lyrics
"See me - Hear me - Need me" Some things will never change. "Touch me - Heal me" Mankind remains the same. Oceans, forests, nations; now everything bears our name. While Earth is bleeding. Nothing will remain. Nothing previals... We were stuck in this world of change,expecting it to remain - now nothing is left unstained! No! When there´s nothing more that we can trade, own, steal, or sell... When there´s nothing whole because we took it apart, and just left, moved on... When there´s nothing left for us to break, use, abuse, or rape... Then you´re free to count how much you saved! I can see the ways we fail, I can see us fall so easily - a structure far too frail: I can see 40,000 years of knowledge and history invested in this child - spoiled and stained by proud divinity, gaining at best the perspective and wisdom of not even a fleeting century. We have now reached the final ten thousandth of a second of our evolutionary year, as we hit 2,000 at a birth rate of 250 people a minute! Tell me: how are we supposed to survive if we´re acting like fools all dropping dead to stay alive? Someone tell me, please just show me - if there´s nothing to do, God we´ll turn to you, But if we´re an image of you i reckon you are just as puzzled and ugly too. You think we have developed fast; that we´re civilized and intelligent? I´ll ket you in on a secret: we have developed Things! The rest is simply knowledge passed on. (I can see us drain this world, I can see us buying loss to cheap. Terra Sterilia washing its broken hand of us now: creation´s blackest sheep!) Hell, 99% of humanity couldn´t put together a simple light bulb if you put a gun to their heads! And the intellect rubs off on fear... The year 2,010AD: 6,823 Million people 2,020AD: 7,518 Million people 2,030AD: 8,140 Million people 2,040AD: 8,668 Million people 2,050AD: 9,104 Million people I can see us read the sign, but spell them out in backward travesty. I see us close our eyes to all the wounds that we inflict to this world by being "free" - we love this world to death, purchasing our lifestyles with our lives. Defending our momentarily nations with the loss of our priceless earthly home! It´s not hard to reach the top! It´s not hard not knowing when to stop! It´s not hard to take all! Not very difficult to fly if you settle for fall! It's not hard to cross a line! It´s not hard to push and go to far! Some creatures cannot climb, then there are us who cannot even learn how to stay alive... I´m sorry! For all the things we did and did not do - forgive us; the fools that rushed ahead without a clue. I am sorry! Please forgive us for this human lack of humanity, this evolutionary travesty - this tragedy cakked "Man" ...called "Man"... I´m sorry! For the things we did and didn´t do Forgive us; the fools that rushed ahead without a single clue ...without a single clue... |
