Analysis of Earth Station
Watch terrain rumble, feel the gyration
Watch markers crumble, feel the ablation
Watch colors scumble, feel the mutation
Watch buildings tumble, feel the duration
Watch persons stumble, feel the migration
Watch tutors mumble, feel the frustration
Watch sentries fumble, feel the purgation
Watch spirits humble, feel the causation
Watch angels grumble: feel the earth station
