Nature on a Leash - Alchemist

We’re growing buildings by the sea

We’re plotting, planning our insanity

Pushing out to live beyond our bounds

Taking over until nothing can be found

Striving for heights we can not reach

We’re keeping nature on a leash

Joking with ourselves

As we pretend that we don’t see, and we’re growing taller

Blasting deeper holes under the sea

We won’t see it coming

Nature reclaims all that’s hers

Returning balance to the earth

And we move underground, and we begin to see

Nature removes her leash

It’s now on you and me

Striving for heights we can not reach

We’re keeping nature on a leash

Arrogance will be the downfall of the human race

Building bigger cities, soon to be our children’s graves

Nature escapes from her chains

And we move underground

And we begin to see

Nature remove her leash

It’s now on you and me
