The Greed of Man

A spike was driven deep in the earth
In a quest to find man's greed
Prodded and pricked the earth relents
As it slowly begins to bleed

The vein they found would suddenly burst
As it spewed its liquid gold
They tried to apply a tourniquet in vain
Only to make it explode

Its poison blood would cover the sea
And reach to the distant lands
But now it becomes a liquid death
Caused by man's own hands

The fish and birds would suffocate
From this sludge that covered the earth
The greed of man had come with a price
And death would count its worth

The tears of men could not wash away
The oil that the earth had cried
The greed of man now claims its victims
As the plants and the animals died

Godly Fear

I can’t see
I am blind
I raise the heavens
Rip up the oceans
The God calls out to the merciful 
I can’t breath
It is mighty
The chains of the earth ring
The surface of the ocean trembles
The underworld rises
Nobody lives anymore.
Heaven crys out for its saviour.
Nobody lives.
The earth is barren
A wasteland
A tomb
A dead seasoning ground
I can’t breath again
No one is here
It is trembling
Never again
Tremble before the mighty one.
