Tell me, leaders of the world
How do you think mother earth
Intend to keep up with mankind When all
we do is to tear her down?
With false ideals of what is right
You justify an act of war
We should have known
Fight for land, glory or gold, religion, freedom,
race or oil
What's your favourite choice of war?
It doesn't matter if you fight for
peace or if you fight against oppression
If you kill a child, you kill a child!
How did we come to be so wrong?
We forget how to feel
when we neglect what we choose not to see
Just another man or a threat to our peace
Blindfolded eyes decide what to believe
Tell me, leaders of the world, what will
you do about global warmth
Will your ignorance cool you down?
You fight to stand above the rest,
cuz you don't count if you're second best
When we're all gone what's
left to prove?
How did we come to be so wrong?
We forget how to feel
when we neglect what we choose not to see
Temperature rise, glaciers retreat
Blindfolded eyes decide what to believe
Can we save us from ourselves?
Long before this came to be a sad chapter of
history
We were struggling on as one
In the dust of what was here there's nothing left except our fears
Our extermination has begun.
