• I

Born unto the earth; mankind, a testament to nature's benevolence.
A life bestowed upon lives, but none more than the other.
Her will, her reason pure. Her grace, her order unforgiving.
A birthright not without precedent; let us never forsake our brother.
A law worth its weight in gold for those she bore, (and) for those to bear.
Covenant in blood, the earth, the beast, and man but one.
Communal in life (death), the flesh, the bone, and breath or none.
Let us never forsake our brother, let us never forsake our mother.
Born unto the masses; faith, a testament to mankind's ignorance.
A fear forced upon the fearing, and one more than the other.
His will, his reason purist. His grace, his order unforgiveable, inescapable.
An institution, a chain of being erected to predicate the notion of dominion over our brothers.
A farce to imprison nature, a promise to restrain free will, and a challenge to oppress the weak.
No longer responsible to the creator, but to the created.
There will be hell to pay, there will be hell on earth.
For man has sown contempt, man shall reap a bitter end.
An era of balance in the throes of man, blessed with a mind but without conscience.
Bred to worship man, miracle, and the life beyond this life, beyond the here and now.
An answer sought but none to question; how long can we scourge this earth?
How long will we burn the land, bludgeon the living, bleed the seas, and blacken the skies?
A holocaust worth its weight in death of those she bore, and will no longer bear.
There is no question, we have brought this on ourselves.
There is blood in the water, there will be no forgiveness.
We have fallen to ashes (to ashes), there will be no return.
Rejoice, reclaim, and rebuild what mankind has taken for granted.
Let our bodies replenish this earth, for the true color of man has shown.
