Slaying A Cancer

Fire came from the Heaven's down as it lay waste to the machines of War
We whom thought that we ruled, the dominant ones now our,
Bodies burned, charred and their dust scattered on the wind

Screams are made silent as their wings sound in the sky
Millions of rounds but just bounce like rubber bands on a turtles shell
Battleships drowned as there guns fall beneath the waves
The ancients have risen to take back what men have pillaged and raped

We were given an Eden to care for, to let grow
To nurture, a lease that was given we burned as we wanted to own
But our love of violence and hate of which never grows old;
Now Mother has released her molten hot ash, tsunamis to shore

The Dragons grow strong as they feed on the dead
Humans now try to out run the race that they never owned
We never learned that thru our differences we are all just the same
We were to take care but we loved our selfish ways
That one race was better than the other even though there is only one

Cities are now no more as we scatter and hide
The plains of Africa the lions now rule with their pride
The lands of the West wolf packs now claim what what theirs
The hounds of Europe now scavenge the lands
The hunters are now hunted, flesh torn from their bones

A baby's cry is now silenced as the birds peck the remains
The armies of War that we loved so, have now all but gone
For the creatures of the day and of the night, Mankind is deaf, dumb and blind
Thousands of years we refused to see, to live and let live
LOVE was spelled HATE as we lusted to rule
Now the ancient creatures that ruled by Mothers side, she has let fly
As she grew tired of our angry and ignorant ways
As now the Earth, will now be cleansed with a plague

So now if who reads this from a new life to be born
We who could have reached for the stars but chose to reach for a gun
Choose to grow and cherish, Love and understand
Or the ancients will fly once more... by Mothers hand

Author's Note
Mother refers to Mother Earth a term I have even used in my lyrics. Sometimes I just ponder "when will we as a race will ever grow up".
