Grief Barrier - Alchemist

Tear me apart

Underwater brilliance super sensory

Suddenly gone

My destruction the consequence of lost clarity

You wonder why

You use me as sanctuary

Blaming nature

Tourist dollar fades away from your economy

Praising my beauty

Tear me apart

Untouched, unspoiled

Dominant force

Taken for granted

Suddenly gone

Hole in your world

And you can tell where I once was

I’m never coming back into this sick world of apathy

Although it’s never caught, the great reef will never be free

Only living thing visible from space

Grief barrier

To let it fade away, a heritage disgrace

Praising my beauty

Tear me apart

Untouched, unspoiled

Dominant force

Alive so long

Taken for granted, no destroyed

Suddenly gone

And now you see

Hole in your world

And you can tell where I once was

I’m never coming back into this sick world of apathy

Although it’s never caught, the great reef will never be free

Vibrant colours turn grey, beauty fading away

I’m never coming back

Crystal waters turn black

How could something so still be something so alive?

Exploit, export and destroy

Unnatural claiming of rights

My destruction the consequence of lost clarity

Grief barrier
