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
