We will be the destroyers of the world, not nature, but we can change it.
With blood in my eyes,
I look to the skies.
I see now, true and clear,
The end of the world is finally here.

Armageddon, black hole, whatever they say,
Think what you want, nature won't be the way.
Human beings will be the ones at fault,
If the day comes when life itself does halt.

We are the ones destroying this world,
But we won't believe what's about to be unfurled.
We take everything for granted, you and I
We believe things live, only to die.

But that doesn't have to be the way for our planet,
As long as we learn to love an maintain it.
We can save it from such a terrible fate
Only if we learn to love, rather than hate.

So if you find yourself looking to the skies
And you seem to be clouded with red blood in your eyes,
Let not be the red of hate and despise,
Let it be the red of a beautiful sunrise.

Let our planet live to see a few more days,
All it takes is a change in our ways.
