Song for a planet dead.

No more days of heaven.
We've traveled down them all.
We've no more will to journey.
Too tired of the fall.

No more days of heaven.
No sun to rise and fall.
We have no need of sunshine.
The darkness hides the all.

No more days of heaven.
We've spent them one and all.
We grew them like a forest
then chopped and watched them fall.

No more days of heaven.
The big and small both fall.
We've sold the world to mammon.
He bought us, one and all.

No more days of heaven.
We've buried each and all.
We dressed them up as soldiers
then shot and let them fall.

No more days of heaven.
We've let the atom fall.
And for who live, life is death
and death a gift to all.
