I weep for the lost innocence of those unborn

For we have left their survival to the tides of chance

And we’ve exchanged their freedom for the power of now

Because we’ve been overcome with the simplicity of our immediate

And we’ve forgotten that the outside will one day come inside

So we must dance to the music of the drums that we have carved

And the coming generations will curse the earth on which we tread

They will turn their backs on us and let our sins devour us whole
