Sonat Of Shattered Wings
I
The way is clear
He lays his promises out
Around my feet
Like gifts.
There aren't many...
But they're the only ones I've known.
But when I go to pick them up,
He stops me
And instead,
Crushes them underfoot.
Shrapnel flies,
Leaving slight,
Tiny wounds.
And I stand,
Alone,
Surrounded by the fragments.

He steps carefully over the shards,
Sparing himself the pain I've felt.
He lays his promises,
Twice as many,
Atop the fragments.
These gifts seem
Beautiful...
Pure...
Plentiful...

Throws them,
Violently,
In the direction of my barely
We come from a turbulent past
To an info-age moving way to fast
The fate of these lands
Is now placed in our hands
Will we bring destruction to an end

Save this fragile dreamland
Wash away our footprints in the sand
Global warming is causing weather changes right before our eyes
But we still blacken our skies
Sunrays take less time to burn our faces
But we still destroy our rain forests and just leave empty spaces
The men spill out of the factories everywhere
Punching their time clocks basically unaware
Don�t realize what's happening to the big picture
The massive devastation of the atmosph
