I gaze at the smouldering ashes below
It chills my mind
What once was grand
Is but destruction and cinder bestowed
It's not a haze, it's not a phase
As we slaughter generations to come
Exploit our world
One more step and we're done!
As we slaughter generations to come
One more step and we're done!
We know it as civilization
Seems more like depravation
I shun all, give us deliverance
Here comes our bitter penance
... And I detest!
A promise to protect
Not to conquer and oppress
What a mess
It seems nothing is sacred
When the earth is at stake
... And we regress
Unconscious use of resource
People, states and fear
I feel depressed
The liars we were to be
No earth for us to see
We know it as civilization
Seems more like depravation
I shun all, give us deliverance
Here comes our bitter penance
Civil = evil!?
[Music & lyrics: Jesper] I gaze at the smouldering ashes below It chills my mind What once was grand Is but destruction and cinder bestowed It's not a haze, it's not a phase As we slaughter generations to come Exploit our world One more step and we're done! As we slaughter generations to come One more step and we're done! We know it as civilization Seems more like depravation I shun all, give us deliverance Here comes our bitter penance ... And I detest! A promise to protect Not to conquer and oppress What a mess It seems nothing is sacred When the earth is at stake ... And we regress Unconscious use of resource People, states and fear I feel depressed The liars we were to be No earth for us to see We know it as civilization Seems more like depravation I shun all, give us deliverance Here comes our bitter penance Civil = evil!?
