From the chaos of the universe, all that is known as reality Emerged In current day, We, as humans, are the only life that we know of that possesses A reasoning mind Life on Earth has been present and surviving Even through multiple mass extinctions Consciousness It was born with us and within us We as a whole have never truly been aware of ourselves Mankind, like children Has always looked elsewhere for the answers We must shed this childlike state, and enter Mankind's adulthood We must rely on our reasoning minds Throughout our time we've always held value In Elements and compounds... ...Silver, Gold These elements, they've always been present They've been changing in time through chemistry and physics Consciousness is truly the rarest of phenomena The ability to take in with our senses and base opinions To enjoy or wonder To question and ponder These are truly the rarest events in our universe Sentience is not even common in the grand scheme of life or evolution Never once have we collectively realized these truths and made Real attempts to preserve life The greed of few has always had More power Over mankind than Anything else And with this greed Our slow and inevitable Suicide.

All I see is a virus - Spreading Suffered landscape The excrement piles high Call it community - Treading On their brothers They can barely live side-by-side Greed has infected the waters Blood spilled to show who's in power I wait through firestorms I wait for this abomination To run its course They treat this rock as a rental Some may once have cared Now they've given up Trenches that had been blindly dug On impulse Over dated traditions from doctrines By dead men Soon, our day in the sun Gaze upon kings of old in a new sky Unidentified flying observers We are far more humane They'll fall before their time As history defeats itself Here's to a new day Carry the weight Learn from mistakes Carry the weight Learn from these mistakes And savor the failed age of man I wait through firestorms I wait for this abomination To run its course I wait (Let 'em wash right out) I wait (Watch them crumble down) I wait (Let 'em wash right out) For this abomination To crumble down
