Listen to the waves – Ayreon

Listen to the waves

“Ayreon warns the people,
that if man does not mend his ways,
man will contaminate the skies,
so there will be no more air to breathe,
he will poison the seas,
so there will be no more water to drink,
and he will pollute the land,
so there will be no more food to live.”

Ayreon:
All the trees have fallen,
the soil is scorched and dry.
I can’t respire,
a storm of fire,
is raging in the sky.

Where is all the wildlife,
extinct from pole to pole.
The hunt for skin, a deadly sin,
took it’s heavy toll.

The seas are red, the skies are grim,
the soil is filled with graves.
The earth is dead, the sun is dim,
listen to the waves.

We befoul the air,
and burn a hole in the sky.
Deadly rays from outer space,
cause our race to die

Standing at the crossroads,
a choice of life and death.
We’ll take more care and clear the air,
or take our final breath.

The seas are red, the skies are grim,
the soil is filled with graves.
The earth is dead, the sun is dim,
listen to the waves.
