the sands of time are turning, and my life nears its end
my death will go unnoticed, the darkness was my only friend
but i shall pass in comfort, for the earth is an ugly place
endless conflict, for as little as being a different race
the build-up of violence and hate in the world is truly horrific
we end up waging war, just to teach us how to be more pacific
and everyday, people leave their homes, thinking all is fine
that every event is planned, all part of one universal design
but our world is dying more everyday, our eyes live to deceive
and we belive what we see, how can people get anymore naive
we keep neglecting these problems, and they continue to increase
action must be taken immediately, but over half the population is obese
so people rot away at home, their brains infected by television
what they're having for dinner, remains the most difficult decision
why people are dying needlessly, its too far beyond conmprehension
how many more innocent lives must be taken, before people take attention
this happens on daily basis, you can even read it in the news
but i guess theres more important things, like cigarettes and booze
theres no doubt at all, the hope for the future continues to cascade
far too many dfferences are being settled by way of gun or grenade
but we are too quick to act, never thinking of consequences to follow
leaving more destruction to begin with, tough for anyone to swallow
and in time, the abundance of natural resources will surely be depleted
yet we rest hopes on our children, but they'll soon realize they were cheated
our actions are taking precious years off the life of the world
and will continue to happen, because no ones cares till all is unfurled
its all around us, but i never truly witnessed its slow demise
some may call is a curse, but me...a blessing in disguise
i lost my vision as a child, but i do not hesitate to embrace
for i feel sight is overrated, the world turned out a disgrace
