Years beyond the grasp of man

A conscience weighed, a heavy decision

In one hand, the power to save them

In the other will lie their damnation

These beings that I have created live a life of greed and hatred

Is it true? All potential wasted, ignorant their demise awaited

I know of what beauty lies within

The problem is, they kill and destroy

Decisions have to be made, oh

They deserve to die, no

They deserve a chance to prove to us that they can thrive

Coexist or descend

Either way, it doesn't matter what's the verdict?

Poison the lands to the core? May they listen to the voices set to warn them

Of chaos which cannot be unheard

Destroy mankind from this earth, may they breathe no more

Exterminate

The ignorance of man leaves them begging for survival

May they have the heart and willingness to learn

Such a vile race, such potential

Leave them with no hope, adapt or dissolve...

Symbiosis, lost to madness

But if they survive, kill

Madness spawning panic, they are the plague that consumes everything in sight

Disgust

I would have had this world burned, erased

Disgraced, before the eyes of creation, they've doomed themselves

Years beyond the grasp of man

A conscience weighed, a heavy decision

In one hand, the power to save them

In the other will lie their damnation

I see reasons to erase life, I see potential

Looming evil digs its teeth in consuming life in its wake
