Is There No Salvation?

Winds will blow, angry seas will churn
Earth cries for our obligation
All life hacked, cut down, tortured, burned
For her is there no salvation?

Oil, cement, plastic- not meant
Winds will blow, angry seas will churn
Until her death shall we torment
her giving body, no concern

Too far gone now, she can't return
Life slowly fades away , we pray
Winds will blow angry seas will churn
Ashen skies cry, the end today...

She had us fooled, in many years
Utterly gone, us, no return
Earth begins to cry joyous tears!
Winds will blow, happy seas will churn.
