Day after day
My vibrance slips away
The colours fade to grey
Becoming like a statue

In the past my scope was vast
I closed my eyes and dreamt
Of the beauty of diversity
Living on for eternity


Once I was the jewel of the sea
The home of countless species
But my time has been cut short
And the lives that I support

I did not start this feud
Left with this dire mood
What have you done
I could be forever gone

If you scratch me I will bleed
The reefs begin to tumble
By the actions of humanity
Can there be recovery

The beauty will not last
Sense of balance in the past
Maybe it's too late
Will you change this fate or end it

Determination to give a chance
Leave a seed for starting over
Though not a shred remains
The ruination is my pain

Once I was the jewel of the sea
The home of countless species
But my time has been cut short
And the lives that I support

I did not start this feud
Left with this dire mood
What have you done
I could be forever gone

Once I was the jewel of the sea
The home of countless species
But my time has been cut short
And the lives that I support

What have you done
I could be forever gone

Forever gone
Lost from humanity
If I could have been stronger
I might have lasted longer

Forever gone
It has been done
Done
