Error
Like trampled orchids
On blissful rocks
Humanity treads the sphere of oppression
We call Earth
We fail endlessly
Our task to protect
What is truly ours
As we walk across life's miserable hallways
[Pause]
And leaders fear to tread
Where vegetation has been painted red
Where human efforts crumble
Betwixt nature's mumble
And we wander like those before did
As we walk across this blistered galaxy
On the main road to doom
While we sing the dirge of comfort
We crawl into our tombs
