1. A Wolf And Its Prey
A river
Surrounded by trees
A dense fog
Blankets the waters
The moon
The eye of the night
Its glow
Illuminates the lands
A wolf
Scours the banks
Of the river
With waters so cold
Its eyes
Shine so brightly
It knows
The time is near
A sheep
Sleeping so softly
On the banks
Of the river
Awoken
By gnashing teeth
Awoken
Never to rest again
2. Through The Eyes Of The Vulture
Atop the hill he gazes
Across a sky of gray
Beneath him lies the forests
As vultures circle overhead
He hears the call of birds
He sees the deer in the field
He watches the squirrel gather food
He spots a snake stalking its prey
So much life is here before him
But his eye is like the vulture's
For in this place of living beauty
All he sees is death and decay
3. A Means To An End
He stands
Awaiting his sentence
For the pain he caused
For the life he stole
Murder
A life ended
Caused by his hands
Committed in free will
He faces execution
For the death of another
A small price to pay
A means to an end
4. When Man And Machine Are Forgotten
These lands
Wondrous and vast
These hills
Their beauty, everlasting
Mountains
Cold and jagged
Rock and stone
Black obsidian slopes
When time stands still
The hills will remain
When the towers of man crumble
The mountains will stand tall
Great pines
Oaks towering high
Dark greens
Paint the brown foundations
Gray mists
Ominous tranquility
The morning fogs
Descend upon the Earth
Times change the living world
But never will they change this place
When man and machine are forgotten
The world will remain
5. In Peaceful Nonexistence
It sleeps
Below the Earth
In a place
Where light cannot reach
A place
Which knows no cold
Which knows no heat
Barren and empty
No strong winds blow
Nor gentle breezes
Only stagnant air
As still as death
And here it lives
Unknown to light
Unknown to Man
In peaceful nonexistence
6. And The Earth Sleeps Eternally
A vessel
Of rock and fire
Descends
Upon the Earth
Bringing death
Destruction
Rebirth
And salvation
As it falls
We watch its fiery beauty
As it collides
The Earth trembles
The waters of oceans
Sweep across the ground
And the land
Becomes the sea
All life is lost
In its swirling fury
All is silent
And the Earth sleeps eternally
