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
