Black Gold
Unveiling Humanity's Greed: Black Gold's Grim Reflection
Lyrics
I see grey skies and dark days
I observe a bleak outlook with challenging times.
Pain and hurt reigns
Suffering and pain have control and dominance.
We are the end; this is our descent
We are approaching the end; this is our decline.
Turn your back on bloody faces
Rejecting and turning away from violent and injured faces.
Your gaze on empty pages
Your attention is focused on blank, unfulfilled moments.
Spoon fed, everything you wanted in life was yours
Everything you desired in life was readily provided.
Black gold over innocent hunted
Valuing valuable resources over the lives of the innocent who are hunted.
Innocent hunted
Emphasizing the innocence of those being hunted.
Crown yourself the king of dust
Declare yourself as the ruler of insignificance.
Reap the earth and break the crust
Harvest the earth's resources and break its surface.
Pull life from the dirt
Extract life from the ground.
Pain and hurt, pain and hurt reign
Suffering and pain persist, holding sway.
Now your words will carry their weight
Now your words carry significant weight and consequences.
I see your lifeless eyes
I perceive a lack of vitality in your eyes.
You have no purpose or path
You lack purpose and direction.
Do dying children really make you laugh?
Questioning whether the suffering of dying children brings amusement to you.
I thought that I had problems, and maybe I'm a mess
Reflecting on personal issues, acknowledging potential messiness.
But maybe we should put your cruelty to the test
Suggesting a test of your cruelty and harshness.
Bleed the rivers dry, and watch the soil rot
Drain the rivers and witness the decay of the soil.
Innocent will die, they never made the cut
Innocent lives will be lost; they never had a chance.
Black gold over innocent hunted
Reiteration of valuing precious resources over innocent lives being hunted.
You had to have everything that you wanted so
You insisted on having everything you desired.
Crown yourself the king of dust
Claiming yourself as the ruler of insignificance once again.
Reap the earth and break the crust
Harvest the earth's resources and break its surface once more.
Black gold
Reference to valuable resources as "black gold."
I see your lifeless eyes
Reiteration of perceiving lifelessness in your eyes.
No escape, no escape
No means of escape from the prevailing circumstances.
I see your lifeless eyes
Reiteration of perceiving lifelessness in your eyes.
Pain and hurt reign
Suffering and pain continue to have authority.
