Cronus and Gaia

Before we could forget 
In a time of no regret 

We knew what would come 
But we chose not to run

Knowing secrets of the Earth 
For she gave us birth 

Together we were one
Earth, Moon and Sun

Then the gods were forgotten 
As the forests now were rotten 

The oceans started to swell
While the truth we could not tell

So we turned against each other 
Man now having no brother 

You may think this cannot be
That’s your choice to what you see

Think of this what you may
Time forgot itself away 

Just as long as we are here
Still time to see things clear
