The Promise

Blindfolded up above the rooftops Waiting for outcomes of inaction And the waves they rise and the oceans sigh "Why do I deserve this Oh why why why?" "I used to be so clear and blue So kind and soothing Why do you do this To the waters so blue?" If you loved dear Mother Nature You'd do what He does Create; not destroy As I pray to the goddesses' voices The one in my head keeps on screaming "Emerald love is dead and gone Only infamy will remain When you'll You'll be gone" "You'll be happy in the next life Where everything moves in circles" she says "Where tides take what they bring And storms balance the damage they cause And the Earth restores" I want to be there for when we're gone The ghosts of willows' parabolas Wandering shadows of loved ones haunting The phantom of the earth Will be glorious you see The sound of unchained dogs barking The sound of eerily quiet oceans The sight of deep green lands growing The sight of roots over skyscrapers It's a promise kept.
