Temperance - Gaia Lyrics

We were meant to make you rise,
But like fools we slowly let you die...
We were there when the green was turned to stone,
when from viridian into grey we changed your tone...

We've been watching empires grow,
while their walls slowly smothered your soul...
With tubes and dams we blocked your flow,
from your veins to your heart we took control
TIME AND ONLY TIME WILL TELL US
HOW MUCH WE'VE GONE WRONG:
BUT STILL THERE MUST BE HOPE
TO CHANGE THIS WORLD.
GAIA, PLEASE, FORGIVE US

FOR THE SENSELESS PAIN WE'VE CAUSED!

MAY TOMORROW COME
AND SPARE OUR SOULS!
Will our children see the sun?

Will they really learn much more than what we've done?

Will we ever start to think?
There will be an end to the waste of our gift
TIME AND ONLY TIME WILL TELL US
HOW MUCH WE'VE GONE WRONG:
BUT STILL THERE MUST BE HOPE
TO CHANGE THIS WORLD.
GAIA, PLEASE, FORGIVE US

FOR THE SENSELESS PAIN WE'VE CAUSED!

MAY TOMORROW COME
AND SPARE OUR SOULS!

With the fire inside, we should never surrender...but believe
With the fire inside, we should never surrender...but believe!

TIME AND ONLY TIME WILL TELL US
HOW MUCH WE'VE GONE WRONG:
BUT STILL THERE MUST BE HOPE
TO CHANGE THIS WORLD.
GAIA, PLEASE, FORGIVE US

FOR THE SENSELESS PAIN WE'VE CAUSED!

MAY TOMORROW COME

AND SPARE OUR SOULS!
We were meant to make you rise
