Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As we await
Sister Sun's arrival
Child stars, you'll listen
To my tale, please stay
[Verse 2]
As it was told to me
By my sister afar
Earth, her name, and this
This her story
[Verse 3]
Sister Moon, hear me now
I feel my end too soon, too soon
My wounds are deep
Gaping, un-healing, can't believe, refused to believe
My children had no feelings fo me
[Verse 4]
See them sealing a fate of early death and destruction
Watch my foolish daughters and sons
As they kill me slowly
Kill me quicker, kill me
[Verse 5]
They've loved me as would an unfaithful lover, part-time and half assed
Now unmasked is their deceit
No more sweet sneaky thrills seekings tomorrow brings
Nevers and nothings
[Verse 6]
Ended days for my world and it's unchanging ways
Now
Apocalyptic truths of revelations hasten our omega
My children's and mine each time
[Verse 7]
My breath, skin and tears are polluted and poisoned
By their careless games and toys and
This is only the beginning
Of my children's sinning
[Verse 8]
My power is fading
You suck, brother, Mother Earth's now a plaything
For the ungrateful child, so cold
Ten billion fold, my tears
[Verse 9]
I long for the once adoring embrace of my children
Their prayers, their care and tenderness
Has now turned loveless
The embrace, now an anaconda's grip, unmerciful and swift
Swift with the killing
[Verse 10]
Killin' is a sport
Fun with fire and my wondrous rainforest
Reflect the neglect they have for their main source
[Verse 11]
They slaughter their sibling blossom
And beasts like the first murderer, Cain
Their pure sister oceans will never be the same
Due to daily spoil and brother sky's choked from oil
[Verse 12]
Refinery factory smoke
Your mother earth found me, dying
Note who's crying, now
[Verse 13]
My power is fading
You suck, brother, Mother Earth's now a plaything
For the ungrateful child, so cold
Ten billion fold, my tears
[Verse 14]
But I'll continue to spin until my curious Homo sapiens
Offspring pay the price for their sins
Against my tainted tears, my breathless breath and once fertile skins
[Verse 15]
My sons are million-murderers
They kill, I kill one million plus
I never wanted to hurt my children
But our creator makes me take revenge
It's the circle of life
Or at least it was
[Verse 16]
But now it's the end
[Verse 17]
No, no, it's too late for repentance
Accept your death sentence
I've given you all I can
Such beauty and life
You'll never have again
[Verse 18]
Now it's the end
Now it's the end
Now it's the end
Now it's the end
