"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 prevails

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 let 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 too cheap

Terra Sterilia washing its bronken 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 2,010 AD: 6,823 Million people

2,020 AD: 7,518 Million people

2,030 AD: 8,140 Million people

2,040 AD: 8,668 Million people

2,050 AD: 9,104 Million people

I can see us read the signs

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 a 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 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 called "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...
