Verses
Harbor empty thoughts for the damage we’ve done,
Can’t take back the wickedness of fathers and sons,
Actions that have brought us here to this dark place,
Show a kind of emptiness, a kind of disgrace
Verse
Where are all the people who said we’re alright,
Didn’t seem to be here when they took the light
Where’s the point in hiding when there’s nowhere left to hide,
All that’s left is guilt that’s eating up what’s inside.
What’s inside…
Chorus
Greed and hate and avarice filled up my mind
Just like all the others, no one left behind,
What were we to do about it, should we have tried,
Now we watch and learn that it’s a big fat lie!
Verse
We turned the forest greenery into dark grey cement
Left a trace upon the earth of where the gases went
Fighting for the freedom to get rich and to survive,
Forgetting that we’re fortunate just to be alive.
Hells own fields of children who were taught how to kill,
In wars they didn’t understand nor ever will,
Rush for automation as the way to go,
What we forgot about was how thing grow.
Chorus
Greed and hate and avarice filled up my mind
Just like all the others, no one left behind,
What were we to do about it, should we have tried,
Now we watch and learn that it’s a big fat lie!
