"Green Fields" lyrics

"Green Fields"

Did you feel it, the thread begin to fray?
Tangible artifacts of weather and decay
An ending prophesied by rising of the seas
Then punctuated with attrition and disease

How does it feel to do or die?
Is there contrition hiding in your eyes?
To separate, to rectify
To know the consequence, yet fail to even try

There's no more sustenance in those green fields
We're all gonna burn until we die
Dust raining down from ashes

The cost of progress figured steeper than we planned
Took words of vigilance, dismissed them out of hand
We're left colliding in this drought of our design
Determined, ably to foster and align

Our path to blame to ascertain
Drifting ever closer to that final flame
Assign us all a certain fate
A realization arriving much too late

There's no more sustenance in those green fields
We're all gonna burn until we die
Dust raining down from ashes

Agenda classified like a world left dead inside
No positions occupied by predictions of the end
So wound up chasing culture
Destroyed ourselves instead
