Like oils upon a canvas cast in silver, black, and grey The angry skies of autumn hold the distant sun at bay Mighty airborne armies waging battles in the sky The clouds are locked in conflict, sending thunderbolts to fly Yet in our abundant wisdom Man can't tame the sky, the mountains, or the sea Held beyond our understanding, helpless to deny The Hands of Destiny A monolithic menace reaches up to touch the sky Below, a tiny township, waiting, helpless to defy In a violent clamor sends a molten sea of flame Bringing forth destruction, leaving nothing to remain Yet in our abundant wisdom Man can't tame the sky, the mountains, or the sea Held beyond our understanding, helpless to deny The Hands of Destiny With the rage of Neptune, savage seas divide the land Claiming countless victims of the power at His command Dark and dismal waters seem to laugh with fiendish pride Leaving those who dared to venture washed up with the tide Yet in our abundant wisdom Man can't tame the sky, the mountains, or the sea Held beyond our understanding, helpless to deny The Hands of Destiny
