Sky Above Me, Soil Below

Sky above me soil below Yet everything between is sorrow Every day and each tomorrow Bleeding out with more to follow Endless is the suffering Often no happy ending Sometimes a few flickers of hope In a world that cannot cope With the power It's been given by their Gods A humanity lost into the unknown When the polluting seed is sown And hate and fear is grown Into the human DNA And brings about earth's decay And it's something we cannot run away from We are creating our own storm Of self destruction and self extinction We are not covering ourselves in distinction We need to rethink out position If we wish to survive.
