Beyond the darkness I watch my creation As fires burn and humans scream All life looks on in horror This is the day my planet died It was so perfect then, when the atmosphere moved and the center boiled Turning on it rests perfectly from nearest star The life forms grew healthy as the turning went on Then one species emerged as the dominant force and threatened the balance It couldn't last The species took control, overpopulated and started consuming The perfection was ruined and the countdown began Draining the liquid throughout the ground beneath them The caves and caverns lost strength and started to implode The ground sand they screamed Down they fell Murdered by the earth The fourth cycle of cleansing My planet will not survive Magma takes over the crust engulfing all living things Explosions from pockets of pressure Begin the combustion Begin the end So proud I am of my planet Quite a long time for a ball of water and dirt Too bad it was infected It was contaminating the rest The fourth cycle of cleansing My planet will not survive Beyond the darkness I watch my creation As fires burn and humans scream All life looks on in horror This is the day my planet died
