Seph Dent - As I Watch From Space

As I watch from space
A smile on my face
It was the greatest work of art

But what have I built
I'm overcome with guilt
I should have known right from the start

It's the fault of mankind
With their twisted minds
And the hatred that lies in their heart

As I look all around
It's all falling down
They are tearing my world apart

Power praised and evil paid
Status based on money made
Good for bad - a common trade
The poor and weak are without aid

Priests and politicians lie
Animals and people die
The rules are set: An eye for an eye
I let them live but wonder why

They steal from their brother
And cheat one another
I pity all of humanity

Yet they call themselves good
Which he said they would
How can they live in such vanity

Sin a profession
One quick confession
And they call it Christianity

They live in such grief
I'm in disbelief
They've reached absolute insanity

The humans fell
Straight into madness
Forever alone
I watched in sadness

I spoke quite clear
'Don't touch the tree'
But they ate the fruit
They all ignored me

And so I must
End the lives of all
A smile on my face
As I watch them fall

Feel my wrath
As I cast this spell
I declare Armageddon
And end this hell
