lyrics

Deserted cities, abandoned towns
Desolate settlements draped in moldering gowns
Decaying vistas for days on end
Descrying tomorrow, mankind's descent
Deleterious march, to change, not to hold
Degeneracy rampant, from coast to addled coast
We sit on the edge of the line
Will we lose control
See their fingers scraping at the skies
While the rest drown below
Drowning below
Signs of ailing, signs of weakening
Gaïa screams but the Earth is deaf to her cries
Surface failing, cancer, weaklings
Bite hand that feeds in ignorance
Ignorants
Sheep in herds
Yet their shepherds are the ones who stray
Deserted cities, dilapidated towns
Desolate settlements, where rot abounds
Rot
Mutilation, molestation
Gaia wails as her lifeblood slowly depletes
Revelation, revolution
Raise a clenching fist in defiance
Defiant
Never bent 
The sacrifices will be well worth the rewards
Rewarded
Sheep in herds
Still their shepherds carry on and stray
Decaying vistas, weeks into months
Descrying tomorrow, of man, devoid
Deleterious march, thrown all away
Decivilization imminent, cannot be kept at bay
The putrid fumes will overtake 
(The night sky rid of stars)
Leave desolation in their wake
(All life burned to the ground)
When all the wells have been bled dry
(No more crops to reap)
Cancerous leech, at last, will die
(The fated prophecy)
In hibernation Gaia lies
(Under thick sheets of ice)
From her ashes, she will rise
(Soil, keeper of the roots)
Forests now grown through the debris
(Asunder, stone and steel)
Their boughs and bark, the Sun will see
(The fated prophecy)
