Divine Intervention



Ive been watching so long and seen so much

Ive seen everything you destroy with your deathly touch

Since the dawn of existence ive allways been here

For millenia ive heard every scream tasted every tear

Everything you touch becomes brutalised and savaged

Everywhere you habitat becomes naked and ravaged

50 million years since you last felt my wrath

I wiped the slate clean to make way your path

The beasts that roamed before you killed to survive

But you kill in the names of your gods and leave nothing alive

My last intervention beckoned a new ice age

A new dawn a new beginning a new page

You crawled from the oceans evolved and stood erect

You became the higher species the superior intellect

But in your wake you left everything scarred

The very ground beneath you twisted and marred

But there you didnt stop your death stranglehold

Hell bent on destruction to leave your world cold

You teared down your rain forests you showed no concern

Ice caps melting, atomosphere poisoned no stone left to unturn

You are a hundredfold worse than what came before

The time for penitence is here i shall take no more

Your nemises shall not fall from the skies this time

No rebirth no genesis, vengence for your world shall be mine

For i am eternity i see worlds destroyed and born

I watch i calculate evaluate and monitor there dawn

For i stand as a sentinel through space and time

I am the everything i watch, for patience is mine

If a world starts to falter to take a suicide slide

Then ill make myself known and put a stop to there ride

For this is where you are at now out of control

Now you shall feel the deathly menace i dole

For i am the giver and taker of worlds

At lightspeed with carnage and chaos i hurl

For i have no name and many im your candle of life

Your world shall suffer no more here ends her strife
