Imperiled Eyes

"Although a cliche subject in metal, fear of annihilation is something we've all experienced at one time or another. in this case, we try to decipher, lyrically and musically, a set of reoccurring nightmares I used to frequently have." Centuries of war and waste Have dealt a mortal blow Mother earth begins to rot Humanity on death row Life does slowly cease to be Death seems so surreal As earth becomes a vacant lot There's nothing left to heal No colour in the skies No one left to blame And we thought we were wise As I fade, I feel revived Shocked back into life Opening imperilled eyes Imperilled eyes Cessation of physical life Blackness rains from above What right did power have To annihilate the earth I loved Now a barren wasteland The die is cast A planet that once did teem with life No evidence of a past No colour in the skies No one left to blame And we thought we were wise As I fade, I feel revived Shocked back into life Opening imperilled eyes Imperilled eyes Centuries of war and waste Have dealt a mortal blow Mother earth is now no more There's nothing left to heal No colour in the skies No one left to blame And we thought we were wise As I fade, I feel revived Shocked back into life Opening imperilled eyes Imperilled eyes
