Wasteland

Dryness fell over the land of Man

For they have turned the landscape by their wasting hand

Dried up earth and only fruitless soil

Every look you take shows that they have lost control

Only bare feet left that are wandering through red sand

Only bare feet left, that walk on

Wretched creatures in former times called Man

Try to hide their knotty limbs from the burning sun

They are naked, their skin is like parchment

Still wandering to discover fertile land

Only bare feet left that are wandering through red sand

Only bare feet left, that walk on

"Tell us the way out of this odyssey

Fill the oasis for you are the water's heir!

Forgive the destruction for our fathers 've failed

Don't turn our quest into an infinite, wrong way!"

No one's left to continue mankinds trace

That marked the land so unpardonably

The seekers lose the last human domain

Evolution will wipe out their pace!

Only bare feet left that are wandering through red sand

Only bare feet left, that walk on

I can't hear you anymore, my patience is lost

You are the sons of hate, for your fathers failed

Be at least as wise to give up and let

Nature heal itself without your destructiveness!
