Nocturne - Lament lyrics

Music and lyrics by Chris Telkes

After loss of beauty

Through the aging of the skin

Another slow erosion

Will erupt from deep within

And then I'll be...

And then I'll be...

And then I'll be...

Dead

Life, slowly fades away

Trampled, under Man's parade

Our remains will not be found

Our ships will run aground

Continue on to rape the earth

Unconcerned with what gave you birth

Continue on, unaware

Casting up your silent prayers

But, the world will still...

But, the world will still...

Die

Failed, our panets health

Victim of industrial wealth

Screams won't be much help

A shadow of what isn't there

Has appeared out of thin air

Explaining all that you can't see

One small step

One giant leap

I now see

The end

One small step

One giant leap

See our future so bleak

Open your eyes

And lose all your sight

Open your eyes

Then scream

"The world is dead"

"The world is dead"

Our life force

Is dead
