Progressive (gothic) metal ballad.
|
Mother earth confronting the human race with their responsibilities.
|
Avert your eyes
[verse]
Wake up, my newborn child, be welcome to my world
Take your time, to find your way around
The beauty you behold, your home
My gems of life your nutrients
Cherrish me, and I will cherrish you
You, like all my other children, have your place, your purpose in this world
Don’t stray, you’ll live in paradise
[verse]
Hush my child, no need to run before you walk
Resist the urge to take what meets your eyes
Abundance can only remain if you restrain your greed
I bid you now, leave my other children be
[chorus]
‘Cause life’s not a game
You can’t do it all over again
In terror you reign
Avert your eyes
[verse]
Stand down my child, you’ve gone too far, you’ve crossed the line
I’m suffering extinction at your hand
Don’t disrespect me or my ways, I hold you in contempt
Prepare for confrontation now, I will stand my ground
[chorus]
‘Cause life’s not a game
You can’t do it all over again
In terror you reign
Avert your eyes in shame
Your presence a strain
The cause of my pain
Avert your eyes in shame
[break]
End this vast decay
I will find my way
[chorus]
‘Cause life’s not a game
You can’t do it all over again
In terror you reign
Avert your eyes in shame
