Lyrics
the last bird from a scattered flock
The final bird remaining from a dispersed group.
seeks shelter in a tree
Seeks refuge in a tree for protection.
alone amongst the lonely woods
Isolated within a forest that's already desolate.
he will cry when no one hears
Will express sorrow, unheard by anyone.
he will fall when no one cares
Will suffer a downfall without anyone caring.
palls of grief hanging in the clouds
Atmosphere of sorrow and mourning hanging in the sky.
what must go wrong, so that we see
Questioning what catastrophic events are needed for people to realize.
there's not enough to make us stop
There's insufficient reason or motivation to prompt action.
we are the devils of a dying land
We, humans, are behaving as malevolent forces in a declining, deteriorating world.
what evil spirit holds us here
Asking about the wicked force that keeps humanity bound to this place.
we wear a careless mask
We wear a façade of indifference or insensitivity.
making friends with death
Befriending or becoming comfortable with the concept of death.
we are devils of a dying land
We are malevolent forces in a world in decline.
mankind took all nature's pride
Humanity has depleted nature's beauty and wonders.
mercy out of sight
Mercy or compassion is absent or disregarded.
demons dark around us swarm
Dark, evil entities surround us.
forests' last time
The final moments for forests, nearing extinction.
the short last sound of singing birds
The diminishing songs of birds, symbolizing the fading natural harmony.
we don't know what it means
Humans lack understanding of the consequences.
will we ever know?
Questioning the possibility of gaining that understanding.
a world where iron shells
A world where destructive weapons can take lives.
can kill men's blood
A world filled with desolation and devoid of life's essence.
a world of emptiness,
A world on the brink of demise.
a dying land
A world in a state of decline and impending death.
