We shelter in caves Beneath a man-made steel sky Once reflective of our soul Now corroded, its reflection a reminder of our great lie That the Earth could be tamed Exploited and submitted in the name Of the human race Now it is we who must abase ourselves Deep underground As above the megastorms tear apart the heavens Grinding all the atmospheric rust into vicious orange clouds Which fall upon us: a forever-rain of dust Blue oceans smothered Forests choked Fields unrecovered Fires infinitely stoked We dreamed once of going to Mars But see instead it's Mars that's come to us Descended people of a dead planet We reap the fallen dust We weep the falling dust
