See them fall

in drawings on cave walls

from centuries gone

their history fading

Oh how they rose

in grandeur and majesty!

But their magick was too strong

It dragged them down and they drowned

in their own greed for more

Their hunger for wisdom

and the old ones they say

that the sky has not always been this grey

They held their words in their hands

sent knowledge through sky and light

but forgotten their Mother

their place in the web of this ancient way

A tenuous grasp of a small part of Nature

and a future they'd never live to see

Razed forests for towers

but the waters came rushing in

Oh how they shone

in grandeur and majesty!

but their magick was too strong

it dragged them down and they drowned

in their own greed for more

and a future they'd never live to see

And the old ones say that the

sky has not always been this way

Look beyond these sands my sons

and gaze into the past centuries forever lost

A time where seasons thrived

in light of a brilliant sun

But rang aloud a clamor of greed

A foul and odorous blood they drained it dry

and choked the light from their skies

All reason came to an end

while cowering in sterile tombs

Their seasons came to an end

This is the wherefore we break our backs

to wrest life from this soil

and attend to the beat of Her feeble heart

I beseech that your sons will know as well
