Rise and Fall
Oceans rise as mountains fall
Cities crumble in the wake of it all
Flowers once bloomed
They showed their brilliant colors
Now lay dormant
Beneath our mother's covers
~
The fires burn wild
Out on the desert floor
Out past the forest
Where the trees are no more
~
The air has become dense
It is not easy to bare
We're all being suffocated
By the chemicals they share
~
We all have become blind
Obviously to the facts
That this life we created
Is not the right path
~
The paper we value holds no value at all
It's just a way to control us
So they do not fall
~
We are no different
Than our ancestors were before
Our civilization will crumble
It will pave way for much more
~
The outsiders are coming
Their coming once more
Their coming to start fresh
What they started before
~
To reset the clocks back
Back to day one
When life was as pure
As the rising sun
~
They'll come for our children
They'll come for us all
There's no place to hide
No place at all
~
Cover your windows
Barricade your doors
Load that single shot shotgun
Before they get to your door
~
Our weapons are useless
This we will find
Our minds are our weakness
And will be our decline
~
The devil has come
That's what we'll say
But God allows it
Before our mother's decay
