For Those With No Voices
Echoes of a Dying World: Red With Vengeance's Environmental Anthem
Lyrics
Our way of life destroys everything around us
Our lifestyle has destructive consequences for the environment.
We can't just always take nature's place
We shouldn't always exploit nature and take its place.
We will never know the damage we bring
We remain unaware of the harm we cause.
To this dying world
The world is in a state of decline and decay.
Take me back to a time when life was green
Expressing a desire to return to a time when nature thrived.
I don't want to choke on your black profit
Rejecting the negative impact of pursuing profit at the expense of the environment.
Smoke stacks fill the air with soot
Industrial activities contribute to air pollution.
For those with no voices I cry
An emotional plea for those without a voice, likely referring to the marginalized in nature's destruction.
I won't stand idle while they die
A commitment not to stand passively while harm befalls those without a voice.
For those with no voices I cry
A repetition of the emotional cry for those unheard.
We must change our way of life
An imperative to change our current way of life for the sake of the planet.
This world is dying
A stark acknowledgment that the world is in a state of decline.
We're at the end of the line
Expressing a sense of finality or reaching a critical point.
The animals and trees cry out for an end to this
Nature itself is pleading for an end to the destruction.
We must change our way of life for those with no voices I cry to you
Reiterating the need to change our way of life for the sake of those unheard voices.
I don't condone the destruction of earth
Rejecting the approval of Earth's destruction.
The rape of everything green
Strong disapproval of the exploitation and destruction of the environment.
The skyline fills up with black smoke
The visual imagery of pollution clouding the skyline.
The trees are dying we all choke
Expressing the harm to trees and the suffocation of all living beings.
Many species will die before we ever know they're here
Species are disappearing before we even acknowledge their existence.
This world doesn't belong to the highest bidder
Rejecting the notion that the world should be owned by the highest bidder.
I'm tired of this destruction
An expression of weariness towards ongoing environmental destruction.
I'm tired of seeing tree stumps where forests used to be
Expressing frustration at witnessing the devastation of once-lush forests.
