There's a fire down under It's heating all old
There is a destructive force below the surface, causing turmoil in the old.
The fight might be lost but there's justice to sow
Despite the potential loss in the ongoing struggle, there is a commitment to uphold justice.
Rot with your souls, for burning always will we
Corruption with souls persists, as burning and decay are inevitable.
Turn to ash, sold to the sea
Everything eventually turns to ash and becomes a part of the sea.
They drowned a whole generation

Birth without life, when your last breath comes scream

We may live on in fire but we die
While life may continue in fire, death is inevitable in the sea.
In the sea

Burnt to a crisp, all fauna dead

All we are doing is nursing what's dead

Wage wars and tell lies, it's made real damn clear
Wars are waged, and lies are told, making the destructive reality clear.
Will and greed has brought it all here
The combination of will and greed has led to the current state of affairs.
They drowned a whole generation

An eye for an eye, or a life for a lie
