There are no pictures accompanying this Blind to the Beautiful The stars are fading, ashes to ashes and dust to dust The bread we have broken, the wine we drank from tarnished cups And I stopped believing in miracles a long long time ago I lost my faith and I sacrificed my soul I worshipped fallen idols, chased false prophets to an end To where I just cant see the beautiful anymore The ice retreating, mountains exposed in the sun The earth is baking, raindrops precede the floods And hurricanes with childrens names write our history Signatures tracked by satellites on high We should have talked about the weather a bit more seriously More than stocks and shares and corporate wares We were blinded by the sceptics and their greed I just cant see the beautiful anymore I just cant see the beautiful anymore I howled and I cried when the melody died, the song was finally over There was nothing to say, words stole away, their meaning lost in the ether What there was left stopped making sense, a broken up alphabet, language dispersed I just cant hear the beautiful anymore The oceans are rising, islands in time disappear The canyons burning, forests consumed by the flames Wildfires rage across the plains to be starved by barren soil Deserted farms where seeds refuse to grow I close my eyes to cloudless skies I dream of what we had before I just cant see the beautiful anymore I just cant see the beautiful anymore Show me the beautiful bring back the beautiful, show me the beautiful I want to see the beautiful once more
