Wrecking the Sphere

Sonata Arctica

I see the landscape before me 
So beautiful it makes me smile 
Those whispering sounds in silence 
Reaching for me, trying to warn me...once again. 

Wake up to sense the violence 
Right and wrong, clear and strong 
Whispering sounds in the darkness 
'The time will come to undo what you have done...' 

'What if the seas can't save you 
From the fires of this world... 
You left no trees to keep you 
on the surface, when the day comes...' 

'The push that you gave derailed me 
...on my knees, broken seals 
Your vagary led to the silence...' 
...I can't hear you. 

'Please cast the die 
Paint the horizon with the right shade of red 
When the oceans rise 
Mother cleans the slate and the cradle becomes 
your grave...' 

'What if the seas can't save you 
From the fires of this world... 
You left no trees to keep you 
on the surface, the oceans rise...' 

Under the sky... 
we create our future 
Towards the end we tend to forget 
Is world such a bad place 
Why are we wrecking the sphere... 

Four seasons turn into two, 
Two less seats in the ancient guild 
The bond is now obsolete... 
You gave us the roots and the wings, 
the more you gave, the more we parted from you. 
This day seems so infinite 
We never learned to be afraid... 

Pray no, you should not pray now 
Must believe in yourself 
All the choices you make 
Will define you in the end 
Truly, we're a lost cause 
A tiny rhymless word 
In the poem of time 

What if the seas can't save you 
From the fires of this world... 
You left no trees to help you 
back to surface, when the oceans rise...
