We all feel it in our bones and far too long we’ve known
We’ll have to eat the terrible seeds we’ve sown
We pray that our hero appears and they somehow persevere
And god will sort it all out so we don’t have to fear
But as forests burn for beef to feed insatiable teeth
And the rain washes away to the sand underneath
As our prayers go unheard entwined our fates interred
Smoke fills your lungs and you breathe your last word
Maybe god will save your soul?

Well the war demons grow near and the diplomats hide in fear
As the masses drown in sorrows the machine sheds no tears
And we pray the men will do right and will suddenly see the light
And god will bless our forces and we’ll win the fight
As the rockets devour the sky the children shriek and cry
No one can hide from the fire no matter how they try
As our prayers go unheard entwined our fates interred
The sword splits your throat and you breathe your last word
Maybe god will save your soul?

Well the stores record their last sale and the seeds wither and fail
Our bold schemes and designs come to no avail
And we pray that the flowers will bloom but the end of the season looms
And god will bless our crops and spare us from doom
But as fungus devours our fields and kills the smallest of yields
And your hunger shows you just how far you can kneel
As our prayers go unheard entwined our fates interred
Starvation steals your body and you breathe your last word
Maybe god will save your soul?

Well the lands are barren and used destroyed and fatally bruised
Our complete and total failure cannot be excused
And we pray that the fruits return for the lesson we finally learned
Please give us another chance before the last of it burns
But as the last few creatures die without even knowing why
The last man’s lust for greed could not be satisfied
As our prayers go unheard entwined our fates interred
As people eat your flesh and you breathe your last word
Maybe god will save your soul?

And as we all sit back and observe and no one can get up the nerve
We will all succumb to exactly the fate we deserve
We must all be swift and bold and stop our quest for gold
Because beyond our delicate Earth there is nothing but cold
Only we can save our souls.
