Laurence Overmire - The Dawning of a New Millennium lyrics

Another thousand years has come and gone And I am here to see the new phase of the moon And wondering where we are And why The nature of the world has changed a lot But the nature of Man has not. We are in the midst of the most spiritually desolate of times Greed is the phallic God of choice Demanding the inordinate sacrifice of virtue and principle On the altar of insouciant ego The lambs brought to the slaughter With their tongues cut out Spill their blood on the stones of our sleeping indifference. The Earth cannot long endure the ingratitude of her children The sun will not forever spin its gold across the sky Our world is not without end But do we have the foresight to alter our fatal intransigence And prevent a doom too soon Of our own petty design?
