"see me" 

"hear me" 

"need me" 

Some things will never change 

"touch me" 

"heal me" 

Mankind remains the same 



Oceans 

Forests 

Nations 

Now everything bears our name 

While earth is bleeding 

Nothing will remain 

Nothing prevails 



We were stuck in this world of change 

Expecting it to remain 

Now nothing is left unstained 



No! 



When there's nothing more that we can trade 

Own 

Steal 

Or sell 



When there's nothing whole because we took it apart 

And 

Just left 

Moved on 



When there's nothing left for us to break 

Use 

Abuse 

Or rape 



Then you're free to count how much you saved 



I can see the ways we fail 

I can see us fall so easily 

A structure far too frail 

I can see 40,000 years of knowledge and history 

Invested in this child 

Spoiled and stained by proud divinity 

Gaining at best the perspective and wisdom 

Of not even a fleeting century 



We have now reached the final ten thousandth of a second 

Of our evolutionary year, as we hit 2,000 at a birth rate 

Of 250 people a minute 



Tell me 

How are we supposed to survive? 

If we're acting like fools 

All dropping dead to stay alive? 

Someone tell me 

Please just show me 

If there's nothing to do, god we'll turn to you 

But if we're an image of you 

I reckon you are just as puzzled and ugly too 



You think we have developed fast; that we're civilized and intelligent 

I'll let you in on a secret: we have developed things! 

The rest is simply knowledge passed on 

(i can see us drain this world 

I can see us buying loss too cheap 

Terra sterilia washing its bronken hand of us now 

Creation's blackest sheep!) 

Hell, 99% of humanity couldn't put together a simple light bulb if you put a gun to their heads! 

And the intellect rubs off on fear 



The year 2,010 ad: 6,823 million people 

2,020 ad: 7,518 million people 

2,030 ad: 8,140 million people 

2,040 ad: 8,668 million people 

2,050 ad: 9,104 million people 



I can see us read the signs 

But spell them out in backward travesty 

I see us close our eyes 

To all the wounds that we inflict to this world by being "free" 

We love this world to death 

Purchasing our lifestyles with our lives 

Defending our momentarily nations 

With the loss of our priceless earthly home 



It's not hard to reach the top 

It's not hard not knowing when to stop 

It's not hard to take all 

Not very difficult to fly if you settle for a fall 

It's not hard to cross a line 

It's not hard to push and go to far 

Some creatures cannot climb 

Then there are us who cannot even learn how to stay alive 



I'm sorry! 

For the things we did and did not do 

Forgive us; the fools that rushed ahead without a clue 

I am sorry 

Please forgive us 

For this human lack of humanity 

This evolutionary travesty 

This tragedy called "man" 

...called "man"... 



I'm sorry! 

For the things we did and didn't do 

Forgive us; the fools that rushed ahead without a single clue 

...without a single clue...
