Equals 04:05
And at the same time That I have given up Forgiving what’s mine Forget whatever was I take a deep breath And I let it out Start with a whisper (And end it with a shout) I was the cradle of life I held you in my arms Was that not enough for you? Careful now my children (Part the sea, I'll burn the sky) We all have a place in this (Cut it down, I'll claim what’s mine) I can help you help yourselves (Keep your faith, I want more) Taken from a path of life to death so cold and within sight of you

Have I the power? The means to persevere? This mountain lives Here we are alone Your guiding light Carries me to my task Your secrets kept Diverge me from the truth My skin crumbles Like the earth below me I am the giant In me is all I am the giant From me goes all I am the giant In me breathes all I am the giant Lives to end all

The sun has forgotten my name Like a prodigal, never seen again I look up, through my blackened eyes Long enough for a glimpse goodbye Hail, (my god) Fall, (to dust) This mask of smoke and soil Is this the end for us? I bare my bones of earth and stone (This coronation) I salt my skin and reach within (My resignation) A prayer for warmth and honesty (No restitution) My children sought to bury me (My persecution) No yellow sun nor silver moon (This frozen wasteland) My final breath is coming soon (Killed by my own hand) Snow is falling from frozen skies Cover me with your cold Years go by in my sleep of death I dream of life again

Bring back this world Back to the age Of life and conservation To the age when trees did grow You’ve killed this Earth These dead and desolate lands You’ve burned them to the ground This planet longs to be green again It can be saved With balanced nature behold This world’s natural beauty This planet wants to be blue again Bring it back It was good It was pure But no more There is hope There is light We can make Our choices right Burn This primal drive To conquer the world Will leave us nothing but the Barren lands We created

She Speaks 05:43
Through time There have Been signs Of her The rain The wind She tries But no one hears her Messages lost through carelessness Keep her trapped inside herself She speaks We ignore This message From earth

Save me.
