Inherited Hell
Inherited Hell: A Haunting Glimpse into Earth's Grim Tomorrow
Lyrics
A time in the future, not too far away
A future time, not distant, is portrayed
The death of our world, we are told
The world's demise is announced
Destroyed by neglect, now breeding despair
Neglect causes destruction, breeding despair
The home of mankind is despoiled
Mankind's habitat is spoiled
Polluted oceans, unbreathable air
Oceans are polluted, air is unbreathable
The life of the land under siege
Land's life is under siege
Cancer is spreading and wasting the world
Cancer spreads, wasting the world
And mankind is now the disease
Mankind is portrayed as a disease
Look upon the world you knew
Reflecting on the world and bidding farewell
And say goodbye, it dies with you
The world dies with the observer
Those who live when we are dead
Survivors curse the departed
Will curse our names, they 've inherited Hell
Those alive inherit a hellish world
The forests are gone and the ocean destroyed
Forests and oceans are gone
The world we once knew now is dead
The familiar world is now lifeless
The animals slaughtered, wild life in its grave
Animals are slaughtered, wildlife extinct
The sun burns too bright overhead
The sun's intensity is overwhelming
Cities collapsing and famine runs rampant
Cities collapse, famine prevails
A nightmare where once there was life
A once vibrant world is now a nightmare
Radiation and toxins a part of the children
Children inherit radiation and toxins
Who will hate us until they die
They harbor hatred until their demise
We never stopped to think or reflect
Failure to contemplate our impact
On what we have done to the world
The legacy for our children is a painful existence
The heritage we live our children is Hell
We mold a short life filled with suffering
A short life in pain what we mold
Our actions result in pain for generations
We 've squandered resources and wasted the land
Resources squandered, land wasted
And left little for those to come
Little remains for the future
They will have nothing to claim for their own
Future generations have nothing to claim
Except for the Hell we have shown
Except the hell we leave behind
