Ionospheric splendour ignites the northern skies

Unseen by jaded eyes

Preferring more an insect's view of mundane, grindstone lives

This planet, once a paradise before the serpent spoke

And greed became the rope

By which the race would hang itself

Naked, without hope



Racing like lemmings to the brink of holocaust

With scant concern for cost

We fall before the god of pleasure

Jeopardizing without measure

The rarest gem of everlasting life



With staggering shortsightedness our golden calves are raised

Ignoring former days

Gambling with our heritage in this self-seeking age

The endless quest for freedom, much like the northern lights

So beautiful and bright

But far beyond the mortal's grasp

As witnessed by our plight



Too much casual violence

Too much casual sex

Too much casual unconcern

For what may happen next



The endless quest for freedom, much like the northern lights

So beautiful and bright

But far beyond the mortal's grasp

As witnessed by our plight

The splendour of redemption ignites the newborn heart

A spiritual upstart

Who cannot fathom what's to come Or what will be his part



Racing llike lemmings to the brink of holocaust

With scant concern for cost

We fall before the god of pleasure

Jeopardizing without measure

The rarest gem of everlasting life
