Starry Heavens Turn to Grey

[Intro] [Verse 1] The peaks are capped in white The forests breathing deep But towers block the sun now And the valleys fall asleep Haaaaah--haaaah Ooooo-ooooh [Verse 2] Winds across the meadow Where the raging magma glows But the choking smog awaits us As the blackened city grows Dirt and dust Sky is fading Nothing pure is left to find [Pre-Chorus] Every cloud is stained with a-shes Every river running dry Though the ancient earth remembers How the eagles used to fly [Chorus] Starry heavens turn to grey Fade the forest green away Watch the modern world decay In the poisoned light of day Tall and shiny Grim and grimy Build a world that lacks a fire Watch the lost illusions flee The beauty stripped from me [Verse 3] Through the canyon They are building over canyons Can't you see Among the garbage and debris And every gorgeous view a-round us Turns to plastic in the sea [Bridge] Breath-less now The mountains disappear And all I hear Is weeping [Final Chorus] Starry heavens in the dawn Watch the breath of earth withdraw Every creature lost its song And suddenly the green is gone Tall and shiny Grim and grimy Mourn the planet we once ruined Poisoned rivers reach the sea And erase what we should be [Outro] And through the toxic smoke Dead in the meadow We have lost our pride
