lyrics

As The World Goes Up In Flames

Over the skyline the stars can’t been seen
From the factories that pump to the cars that sing
Forest to fires on black market trade
Fuel charcoal productions from floods we create
Sinks of sludge that burn on command
To a greedy populous with oil on its hands
The blood’s on our hands

The temperature rising lets disease mutation grow
It starts crossing borders we’re losing control
Waring nations can’t unify for a cure
The path to extinction is becoming clear
From a virus in our body, to the virus of hate
Destructive powers exist all the same
Extinction’s the same

We’re burning the bodies, just to keep safe
As the world goes up in flames
We’re stockpiling weapons; No one here’s to blame
What could we have done yesterday?

We’re burning the bodies, just to keep safe
As the world goes up in flames
We’re stockpiling weapons, yes we are to blame
What could we have done yesterday?
