For we all are part of this game,
no one's excluded, I am included,
for I am even to blame.
The trash of our laziness,
it sweeps the lands of the earth.
It once was a piece of beauty,
but look at it now, what's it worth?

She sheds forth her tears,
she cries and no one hears.
Every minute coming closer,
she dies and no one cares.

See Mother Earth crying,
see Mother Earth dying.

The clouds bring forth her pain,
as we now taste the bitter acid rain.
Prepare and now take hold,
as she brings forth her reign of wrath.
She simply can't take anymore,
destruction is in her path.

We'll soon feel Mother Nature's fury,
devastating winds, her punishing rage.
She has nothing left to offer,
in the futile destruction we wage.

See Mother Earth as she roars,
see Mother Earth as we are no more.
