Orphaned Land

"Before eyes that are blind no more
A sight unseen that tears the soul
All we ever loved and known
Into mass graves is what we're shown"
"We see an ocean once was land"
And so they come to understand
This place where man used to be born
Will be man's water throne
"All that was magical, beautiful, will be gone"
These measures call for divine intervention
"All the achievements of man,
one will stand all alone"
One that survives the final selection
