Lyrics Lullabies - Arctic Rose

Are we the monsters from the tales, with poison in our veins
We flay the planet for our gain, then feast on what remains

The cradles are now empty and it chills us to the bone
The shadows dancing in the dark when we are all alone

Look what we've done, what we've become
Behold the throne we forged from greed
And even though no one ever said a word
We knew one day we'd have to bleed

We turned our backs on Earth and she repaid us with the same
In arrogance we thought she was a beast for us to tame

How beautiful the world will be when all of us are gone
When wilderness retakes the lands we tarnished all along

We fought our wars with no remorse
Ravaged the land, defiled the sea
And never saw how our story was to end
With all our demons roaming free

We'd raise a glass and dance away
Sway with the ghosts we'd loved and lost
And in the songs we sang all throughout the night
Mankind could bear the flames, the frost

The decimation of our hope
Our world in devastation
As we tear down all that we built

The incineration of our home
The end of all creation
But Earth will find peace once again

A clear blue sky, a golden sun
The nightingales sing like before
And as today is the very last day
They'll keep on singing evermore

A clear blue sky, a golden sun
The nightingales sing like before
And as today is the very last day
They'll keep on singing evermore
