From my celestial observatory I gaze Upon a cold and dying world A world once ripe with innocence Now torn apart by ignorance When all began, fire graced the sky Casting a light met with harsh reply Swallowed by darkness, all was enslaved As marks of war were forever engraved A failing design Blood of the divine Could not be foreseen by my immaculacy With no light to shine Opposing forces entwine Forever silencing the sound of harmony An innocent race of men is bereft Of its serenity and forced to accept Perpetual war between darkness and light Afflicting them all with incurable blight A maelstrom unfolds in a quest for power Supremacy in every form is sent to devour Social, political, religious or racial Regardless of the case, my creation grows pale The raining debris of a world so cold Confounds its leaders as its souls are sold The belligerent fight, and the pacifists pray But neither one keeps conflict at bay Now I bare witness to the changing of seasons An endless cycle without rhyme or reason Fortune's departure follows its arrival And humanity remains in denial
