The man said look there
and the skies went red,
He pointed directly
as the many fell dead.
Is this now his quiet
words added in.
The legacy from
a world full of sin.
A long, long, long,
time ago it is said.
Even before humanity
ever raised it's head.
The world had a soul,
the tempo was nice.
In fact it was
a real paradise.
Simple creatures knew
that life was rough.
They also knew when
enough was enough.
And although they
sometimes had to ****
it was just to survive.
Never for the thrill.
That curse came later
and when it began
the name of this curse,
the arrival of man.
And so it has gone
millennia has past
and the world that we've ruined
is not going to last.
So here it starts,
plagues on the street.
And people are falling
down dead at my feet.
Trying to run,
driving their car
but with nowhere to go
they will not get to far.
They mistreated this planet
they maligned this place
and now this planet earth
is looking them in the face.
