Avarice from TRAUMA by Laid to Waste

For centuries without punishment
Still no place for the innocent
Burning skies, ravaged land
The end is near...
Once lush, now scorched and scarred,
Echoes the pain in hardened hearts
Fires of destruction burning bright,
What happened here?

Greed and power fuel the flame,
In the vision of fortune and fame,
Nations clash in their notion divine,
Leaving the Earth's fate in decline.

The skies turned black, the oceans bled,
Their avarice knew no bounds.
In the pursuit of wealth the evil spread,
Leaving devastation all around.

I watched my children become like me.
Slowly fade to insanity.

Man's thirst for power, a deadly art,
The land once green, now torn apart.
With each battle fought, a heavy toll,
The mother bleeds...
The rivers weep, their tears run dry,
Mountains erode, and oceans sigh,
Put the gun down, redeem your soul,
Forget you deeds ...

Greed and power fueled the flame,
But the flame left no fortune, no fame,
Nations shattered around the globe,
Their hatred was replaced by a simple hope.

The skies turned black, the oceans bled,
Their avarice knew no bounds.
In the pursuit of wealth, the evil spread,
Leaving devastation all around.

I watched my children wiser become.
At the break of dawn, yet without the sun.

The time is now to make amends,
To break the cycle, change the trends,
For centuries without punishment,
Rebuild the world for the innocent.
