Molten Colosus
Looking on where lava flows
There stands a mountain with eyes of coal
Arms like cannons blasting fire erupting the earth scorching the land
Little men stand. Little men watch
As their beast toy devours the world
All is quiet as the night falls. Winds chill the skin
Autumn has come. The harvest is here
Peaceful the peasants rest for the day
While the bountiful prepare the kindling of the first flame
Soon the screams will torcher the globe
Flesh turns black and blood to oil
For now let them rest as forests begin burning
They can't come together til their time has run out
Looking on where lava flows
There stands a mountain with eyes of coal
Arms like cannons blasting fire erupting the earth scorching the land
Little men stand. Little men watch.
As their beast toy devours the world
Lava floweth. Lava bringeth.
A new generation. Without the destitude
Winter has past and many have died
Doomed to ashes as the wild lands of old have been tamed
Now they sit heads in their hands
Telling tales of the day when the demon inferno came
Now with gold flowing like wine and forests backing down
To the grip of the industrious
They can laugh and sing like they've truly escaped
As the cornerstone perpares to seal their fate
Use the world as kindling and watch your life disappear
The trees have eyes and they see it all
The mountains tower above them and wait like a guardian
The rivers spread the word like a monger
And the sky will pour down a beautiful rain
Now you're getting the picture. It seems like the rich and powerful
Stand over us and we are helpless servants
Perhaps, I've kept my stories in too dark a tone
Perhaps, this fear of mine couldn't be conveyed in any other way
But don't let my stories make you believe there is no hope
In fact, these stories should inspire you to move the boarders
That we've been confided in
Cause we are not helpless animals. We are human beings
With minds, thoughts, wants, needs, and we won't
Sit on the sidelines any longer
So when you see another monster hoarding gold and
Deceiving our brothers and sisters into believing
Another lie about the health of our planet
Remember to stand up and let your voice be heard
Stand up to the oil men that will let us all die
Stand up and eradicate the malevolence
There stands a mountain with eyes of coal
Arms like cannons blasting fire erupting the earth scorching the land
Little men stand. Little men watch
As their beast toy devours the world
All is quiet as the night falls. Winds chill the skin
Autumn has come. The harvest is here
Peaceful the peasants rest for the day
While the bountiful prepare the kindling of the first flame
Soon the screams will torcher the globe
Flesh turns black and blood to oil
For now let them rest as forests begin burning
They can't come together til their time has run out
Looking on where lava flows
There stands a mountain with eyes of coal
Arms like cannons blasting fire erupting the earth scorching the land
Little men stand. Little men watch.
As their beast toy devours the world
Lava floweth. Lava bringeth.
A new generation. Without the destitude
Winter has past and many have died
Doomed to ashes as the wild lands of old have been tamed
Now they sit heads in their hands
Telling tales of the day when the demon inferno came
Now with gold flowing like wine and forests backing down
