You Had Your Chance - In Fear And Faith

I’ve lost my faith in humanity

As I spin around the sun

I’m left to wonder why

A race of intelligent creatures

Must fight for position of power

Now my soil is spoiled due to

What’s become of your contention

Unnecessary, simple minded, arbitrary actions

So change your ways of hostility

And vanity and all the vices in between

Before I take it all away

The clock it’s ticking pick it up, go!

All I’m trying to find

Is a way that I can show you

What you’ve done to me inside

You’ve poisoned the surface

Without any purpose

And I can bring the cold till your blood doesn’t flow

Fire from my vents I can throw

Well you’ve done me a favor

You saved me the labor

Now I can shed my skin

Now I can shed my skin

So I can start again

My my my, you’ve really done it this time

What kind of species would annihilate their only home

Oh you’ve dug yourself into a hole, a pit that never ends

You should know from the books that you’ve read

I’ve been through this a time or two

The fossils were the clue I left to you

So maybe you’ll take this advice and

Change your ways of hostility

And vanity and all the vices in between

Before I take it all away

Your time is quickly running out, and

All I’m trying to find

Is a way that I can show you

What you’ve done to me inside

You’ve poisoned the surface

Without any purpose

And I can bring the cold till your blood doesn’t flow

Fire from my vents I can throw

Well you’ve done me a favor

You saved me the labor

Now I can shed my skin

Now I can shed my skin

So I can start again

You’ve been with me from the beginning

(I fed you, I gave you life)

And without you I’ll stop spinning

(I can’t sustain my spin)

Why would you destroy what I provide?

I withhold a molten supply of ethical rehabilitation

And I reserve the right to exterminate you

When I feel the time is right

GENOCIDE!

Don’t let me catch you fall out of line

All I’m trying to find

Is a way that I can show you

What you’ve done to me inside

You’ve poisoned the surface

Without any purpose

And I can bring the cold till your blood doesn’t flow

Fire from my vents I can throw

Well you’ve done me a favor

You saved me the labor

Now I can shed my skin
