Staring through this barren land
Like countless times before
Have been walking since forever
A thousand miles or more
Not a soul to share my thoughts
What this devastation brought
Cold winds whisper
The blackened sky advance
Dry leaves perform their crippled dance
Patterns in the sand mark my way
Others can follow and join one day
So self-destructive
Unwilling to see
The seams were all ripped and the nation set free
Prophecies of old
Just an old fool's story told
We have forsaken ourselves
Far too greedy and filled with hate
The high-minded bonds evaporate
Setting a course with every mistake
The waves of consequence obliterate
So self-destructive
Unwilling to see
The seams were all ripped and the nation set free
Prophecies of old
Just an old fool's story told
We have forsaken ourselves
Memory fragments of a perfect world
Still people dreamt about that perfect world
Instinct took over intellect put aside
Survival needed sacrifice
Nature and man collide
So self-destructive
Unwilling to see
The seams were all ripped and the nation set free
Prophecies of old
Just an old fool's story told
We have forsaken ourselves
