Tale of forecoming lore

I am here to tell to you
Of the stories of the past
Of a time we went beyond the nature's strip

I'm here to tell you of a time
Of the centuries gone by
When our kind was up in glory and turned to dust

Our chemistry went “beyond”
Our weapons were so much
We had the means to bring up life and end it

We used water freely
During endless hours to see
Though we knew that water was at it's end

Please, people of this
New era of the earth
Undo the scars we brought upon the planet's face

I know of many who believed
Wood was there for us to take
But we ripped off mercilessly the world's lung

I know of more who even thought
Their actions meant of naught
That their deeds would never hurt the place they lived

But now you see that the greed
And the egoism of that race
Took away the most of them, away from life

Please, people of this
New era of the earth
Undo the scars we brought upon the planet's face
