Summer nights smolder hotter than before

Warming seas creep closer with every changing tide

Our home once lush and emerald

Sprawling beneath a sapphire sky

Blackened by smog, tarnished by greed

Scorching life down to the seed

Oh she warns us that our demise is nigh

In willful ignorance we close our eyes

When there’s nothing left to mine

Time runs out to free this tortured Earth

Though we look to the stars we have nowhere to go

When there’s nothing left to burn

We still have time to free this tortured Earth

Stranded on this world with nowhere to go

Blindly they watch the cataclysmic storms

In twisted towers of glass that cut the sky

Burning black gold looted from the soil

Foundations fall as raging oceans rise

Entranced by power, deceived by endless gain

From spires above the searing rain

With only profit on their minds

They never stopped to question why

When there’s nothing left to burn

Time runs out to free this tortured Earth

Though we look to the stars we have nowhere to go

Witness our greatest crime

Time runs out to free this tortured Earth

Stranded on this world with nowhere to go

As darkness falls survivors cling to life

Scavenging beasts live by the knife

Vacant city streets reek with the stench of death

Disease and desolation are all that’s left

Leafy tendrils strangle towers soaring high

All human hope is lost as day fades to night

Drowning cities left behind

Time runs out to free this tortured Earth

By our own faults we have nowhere to go

Now there’s nothing left to mine

How we failed to free this tortured Earth

Hordes of rats feasting on the dead

We did not act in time

The fall of man will free this tortured Earth

Shrouded in haze the stars give no hope

There’s nothing left to burn

We failed to free this tortured Earth

Famine and torment feed our regret

Stranded in this ruin with nowhere to go
