But then
 The hidden warmth of mercy shone through
 The smog we generated and sent above
 Cleared, at least for a moment
 I was sure then
 Humility would show us what was wrong

 In that brief glimpse of beauty
 We could have saved ourselves
 We might just have lived

 But still
 We should not give in to death
 There is still a chance
 To take back what is not ours
 From the hands of those who would suck it dry
 This may not yet be a graveyard earth
 We could yet survive

 There is still a chance
 To give back what is not ours
 They will suck it dry
