Lyrics
Contamination fills the earth
Contamination pervades the entire earth.
Seas are polluted with hazardous waste
Seas are contaminated with dangerous waste.
Humanity that once existed
Humanity that once thrived.
Punished for sins of mankind
Punished for the sins committed by mankind.
Disturbing elements that natured
Disturbing elements created by nature.
Choking on man's corruption
Struggling with the consequences of human corruption.
Deliver us from our oppressor
Seeking deliverance from our oppressors.
Embraced are thoughts of sanctuary
Embracing thoughts of finding a sanctuary.
Build destroy disease infection
Activities include building, destroying, spreading disease, and infection.
Diminishing ozone layer, ultraviolet rays
Ozone layer depleting, exposing us to harmful ultraviolet rays.
Soil erosion fluctuation of the tides
Soil erosion and fluctuations in tides occur.
Dying species rapidly becoming extinct
Various species are dying rapidly and facing extinction.
Eradicating forests
Forests are being eradicated.
Our serenity has been invaded
Our peace has been invaded.
We take from ourselves and give back
We take from ourselves but give nothing back.
Nothing
Nothing is given back.
Another cure another disease
A continuous cycle of finding cures and facing new diseases.
Another war in which many will die
Wars persist, leading to the death of many.
Impossible to comprehend
The situation is incomprehensible.
The horror lurks upon our walking life
Horror lingers in our daily lives.
It returns to haunt us in our dreams
The haunting consequences return in our dreams.
Like embedded fossils inland in stone
Similar to embedded fossils in stone, the consequences are deep-rooted.
Evolving from our primitive form
Evolution from a primitive form.
We must defeat this cruelty
We must overcome this cruelty.
One must view death to understand reality
To understand reality, one must confront death.
Living within an age of intelligence
We are living in an age of intelligence.
Nourish the earth and we shall receive
If we nurture the earth, we will receive in return.
Future generations will be lost
Future generations are at risk of being lost.
Technology restrained
Technological progress is limited.
In the end when all is gone
In the end, when everything is gone.
What have we gained
Reflecting on what has been gained.
Will we survive
Questioning our survival.
