Cover art for A World Apart lyrics by Fates Warning

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?
