The Distant Storm

The Distant Storm

Let the wind blow
Let the rain fall
Let the lightning strike
We have taken paradise
The paradise God had given us
Raped the land
Killed His creatures for sport
Poisoned the life-giving water
Made the air yellow with our wastes
Turned His paradise into our Hell
He is angry at what we have done
He has waited so long to say “that’s enough”
Let him rage
Let His anger be seen by all
Take the warnings from the sky
Let the wind blow
Let the rain fall
Let the lightning strike
Just remember what it means
He is angry
He is tired of the man He created
And it is His way of telling us to stop
Before He does it for us
