As the wild is forsaken
By our daughters and our sons
It is bound to be rising once again
While the acid is settling
On the leaves and the flowers
In a mantle of dust they scream their pain
While the ears of the masses
Are deaf to the voice of earth
A new generation's given birth
Among all of the ashes
A new conscience is coming forth
From the ruins of a world to be reborn
Reborn in the constant
Weep of the rain
In the sign of immortal will
A trace of that balance
Runs in our veins
To be found, to be finally
Regained
Fading darkness is the wisdom of all
Burning as fire the wisdom of us
Dying lore will rise again to our call
Our pride will never
Fall in dusk, it will be dawn to the light
Cleaning with fire the heart of the blight
If skyfall does free the world of its plight
Life again shall rise
Shining and bright, from its natural right
The lamb shall be wolf and the crow shall be white
The weed's doom shall be the scythe
First a fence to protect us
Then a fence to protect the world
But the dam will be broken by the flood
Life will flow back among us
And drown our legacy
Rebalance the weight of a new world
Reborn in the constant
Weep of the rain
In the sign of immortal will
A trace of that balance
Runs in our veins
To be found, to be finally
Reborn in the constant
Weep of the rain
In the sign of immortal will
A trace of that balance
Runs in our veins
To be found, to be finally
Retained
