The men and his machines plagued Gaia too long
They burned her lungs, boiled oceans
They hurt and maimed her for so long
And now she has had enoughYou all were warned
Of the dangers you’d create
But no, humans
Refused to listenYou all were told
Of overdoing it
And so, humans
Will reap what the sowOceans barren and boiled, oxygen depleting soon
And you will not survive
You used them all, and destroyed yourselves
There is no hope for you any moreYou all were warned
Of the dangers you’d create
But no, humans
Refused to listenThanatos has come, for us all now
Do you see the darkened skies?
We warned you
Now you suffer as you have causedYou all were told
Of overdoing it
And so, humans
Will reap what the sowSome will remain here
After the Reckoning
They who didn’t cause harm to her
Will be welcome
