A World Apart Lyrics
We find ourselves in ruin
and it's come too far, how?
It's no use,
too much allowed and abused.
Worlds apart,
they're excused.
When we've warned
they're amused.
We slip right by, and ignore
this sable scene.
We've lives to live,
it's all for one you see.
Why should we think to care,
won't we soon disappear?
Worlds apart,
they're excused.
Balance waived as we speak.
Praised are those with fashions grand,
self concern leads their plans.
A moment's craze and natural crime
subserves a world to malignant minds.
and it's come too far, how?
It's no use,
too much allowed and abused.
they're excused.
When we've warned
they're amused.
this sable scene.
We've lives to live,
it's all for one you see.
Why should we think to care,
won't we soon disappear?
they're excused.
Balance waived as we speak.
self concern leads their plans.
A moment's craze and natural crime
subserves a world to malignant minds.

This sounds like it is about humans "abusing" the natural environment (Earth) and not really have much concern, well not until it is too late.
Fits nicely into the climate change challenges we currently face, although it predates world wide media attention on the matter by about 10 years. Although the IPCC had been established already before the release ... so perhaps it was an early "warning" by the band on the environmental challenges will face?
