Gaia's Sorrow

When the world changed A warm night in July The factories were working overtime To meet the rising demand An ever bigger fire To feed the flames of man's desires When the world changed For her it was no surprise For too long they'd been burning The balance had been turning But the point at which they'd learn Was past the point of no return When the world changed She did it with a sigh For all that she'd created Would have to start again All because of them And the ambitions of men When the world changed She knew they'd take it on Not accept the changes And try to intervene Then only when they see the cost Would they realize what they'd lost When the world changed Forever in a day To bring the balance back And counter the attack She wondered if she should But it was for the greater good The night the world changed She didn't sleep at all She thought about the changes cos there could be no reverse But things were getting hot And man was never gonna stop
