Amidst the sea, I stood upon the mountain
The sacred mouth of mother earth
I fixed my eyes upon the vast universe
Stars as grains of sand filled the velvet sky
Before such grander, I trembled
A virgin beauty
From the ancient forest
I offered a prayer
A desperate plea
"This place I stand, once holy
has been defiled by my kind
we murdered our mother
our father, we forsook
save yourself from our dirty hands!"
The sacred silver orb
Our guardian satellite
Witness to our crimes and atrocities
Forgive us of defiling your face
Welcome us no longer
Perhaps man will see
His place in the world is small
Insignificant, should you walk away
I implore you; show us our erroneous ways
