Pain of Salvation, The Orchesta of Eternity - Nihil Morari lyrics

"See me" "Hear me"
"Need me" some things will never change
"Touch me" "Heal me"
Mankind remains the same

Oceans forests
Nations now everything bears our name
While Earth is bleeding nothing will remain
Nothing will prevails
We were stuck in this world of change
Expecting it to remain
Now nothing is left unstained

No!

When there's nothing more that we can trade
Own steal
Or sell

When there's nothing whole because
We took it apart and
Just left moved on

When there's nothing left for us to break
Use abuse
Or rape

Then you're free to count how much you saved

Regional power grids shut down today
Ranging from the east coast
All the way to Michigan and parts of Canada
All tolled 50 million people
Are without power there is no estimate of
When the electricity will
Be restored and the cause is yet unknown
New York city is in gridlock with hundreds
Of thousands of people in the streets
Their cars left on the sides of the road
An incredible earthquakee rocked Samaa
The capital of Yemen
It measured 72 on the richer scale
At this point no estimates of deceased
And wounded can be recorded
We do know however that since the year 1973
There have been 17 earthquakes in 14 cities
Throughout Yemen with 6, 500 dead

Two tankers collided off the coast of Norway
This afternoon pouring millions of gallons
Of oil into the ocean
? sustainable and this contamination is
Going to have an
Horrific effect on the ocean
For years to come
The greatest fear being the
Extinction of several
Species already on the endangered list

I can see the ways we fail
I can see us fall so easily
A structure far too frail i can see 40
000 years of knowledge and history
Invested in this child
Spoiled and stained by proud divinity
Gaining at best the perspective and wisdom
Of not even a fleeting century

We have now reached the final
Ten thousandth of a second
Of our evolutionary year, as we hit 2
000 at a birth rate of 250 people a minute
Tell me how are we supposed to survive?
If we're acting like fools
All dropping dead to stay alive?
Someone tell me please just show me
If there's nothing to do
God we'll turn to you
But, if we're an image of you
I reckon you are just as puzzled and ugly too

You think we have developed fast
That we're civilized and intelligent
I'll let you in on a
Secret: we have developed Things!
The rest is simply knowledge passed on
Hell, 99% of humanity couldn't put
Together a simple light
Bulb if you put a gun to their heads!
And the intellect rubs up on fear

(I can see us drain this world
I can see us buying loss too cheap
Terra Sterilia washing it's broken
Hand of us now creation's blackest sheep)

The year 2, 010 AD: 6, 823 Million people
2, 020 AD: 7, 518 Million people
2, 030 AD: 8, 140 Million people
2, 040 AD: 8, 668 Million people
2, 050 AD: 9, 104 Million people

I can see us read the signs
But spell them out in backward travesty
I see us close our eyes
To all the wounds that we inflict
To this world by being "free"
We love this world to death
Purchasing our lifestyles with our lives
Defending our momentarily nations
With the loss of our priceless earthly home

It's not hard to reach the top
It's not hard not knowing when to stop
It's not hard to take all
Not very difficult to fly if
You settle for a fall
It's not hard to cross a line
It's not hard to push and go too far
Some creatures cannot climb
Then there are us who cannot even
Learn how to stay alive

I'm sorry!
For the things we did and did not do
Forgive us the fools that rushed
Ahead without a clue i am sorry
Please forgive us
For this human lack of humanity
This evolutionary travesty
This tragedy called "Man" called "Man"

Carter on the other hand claims that he was
Instructed by god to attack the kindergarten
Because of his own

To kill these men as a
Symbol of white supremacy
The founding premise of

The school girls were given the
Date rape drug by
The nurse when they complained of feeling ill
They were then taken by the

Questions regarding so many people
Diagnosed with colon cancer
The doctors response was

45 counts of child pornography he was
Arrested after police set him up

His blood alcohol content was 463
Almost 6 times the legal limit
Ironically the girl died

For years over the abuse the environment
And atmosphere have endured with the
Modern industrial lifestyle it seems as if
One of their greatest fears

I'm sorry!
For the things we did and didn't do
Forgive us, the fools that rushed ahead
Without a single clue without a single clue
