Eye for an Eye

A mighty flame erupts to the sky

Raining down in ashes

An arctic surge swells to the sand

We mourn as heaven crashes

The child weeps now for the loss

Of his only brother

Entombed in a shell of ancient stone

Cold and smothered

Mother earth

Invoke the bones of all below

Return to the surface anew

To begin again

Drain the oceans, swallow the shores

Burn the forests to the floor

The ruin of man the earth endures

There will be nothing more

The rabid beast stalks the land, stole the body from the tomb

Raped the sin into the lamb, taste the fruit of thy womb

Now all is forsaken, all is undone

Consumed in the fire of the setting sun

The day shall come to pass as the dark of night falls

The light slips from our grasp, the plight of rapture calls

There's no escape from what we've done

The mother's redemption reclaim your sons

Drain the oceans, swallow the shores

Burn the forests to the floor

The ruin of man the earth endures

There will be nothing more

And so the beast was turned on by the stock

No longer the shepherd now hunted by the flock

Our blood shall nourish the fields in crimson

And rust Eden to dust

As we destroy ourselves in endless cycles

A patient killer awaits reprisal

Eye for an eye

Reprisal

Eye for an eye

Reprisal

Drain the oceans, swallow the shores

Burn the forests to the floor

The ruin of man the earth endures

There will be nothing more

Mother earth

Invoke the bones of all below

Return to the surface anew

To begin again

In the wind we fade away

In the tides sink and decay

All we were shall be replaced

All we've done shall be erased

Set free the fire in your heart

Mother earth, take us back to the start
