lyrics

It's time to correct. Time to dream big.
We wouldn't insist on you going away
If it weren't what we all need.
(Seven different creatures come slinking out of the dark,
their eyes wide with curiosity...having no fear of the unrecognized
and no innate empathy).

But men march through the woods like soldiers of fortune,
Laying waste to centuries of growth without a second thought.
The beasts of the forest are not unarmed, and they do not forgive.
A fight to the death is in store, so the victorious may live.
(Seven different creatures come slinking out of the dark,
their eyes wide with curiosity...having no fear of the unrecognized
and no innate empathy).

Take heed now and run!
Go to meet the struggle of ages with blades drawn and teeth bared.
We've done all we can to prepare.
Eyes wide and aimed at the sky, we wait for destruction
To rain down like a cleansing.
Like a cleansing.

War is upon us--take your sides.
Gather your brothers and sisters so we may fight together as one.
Our resolve is strong and we stand for life and preservation.

If I ever live to see the world's end,
At least I won't be ignorant.
