Reclaiming What's Lost

Ribbons of moonlight
Dark rolling forests
Fields of whipping grasses
Reclaiming what's lost

Huge groaning ocean liners
Massive Bulldozers
Great crushing armies
Incessant chainsaws

Great smoking cities
Huge belching funnels
Growth edging forward
Reclaiming what's lost

Vehicles grow lichen
Trees burst from earth
Footpaths spring cracks
Reclaiming what's lost

Ivy covered buildings
Velvet moss paving
Comes natures rebirth
To reclaim what's lost
