Oblivion

We are timeless

Upon this mountain

The mountain holy

Looking down into the valley

Where our forefathers walked

Apemen, in troops

Through this jungle

We were given the book

And then we rose

From hunched to dignity

From primitive to somewhat civilised

From neanderthal to humanity

We rose and we rose 

Until we had the world in our hands

A few million years past

Our skins became pink 

And our hair once vast

Was lost

Took advantage

Of the might of the land

Having left Atlantis

For the earth

For the garden of Eden 

And the myth of humanity

Into the age of nuclear

Into the age of no return

Into oblivion
