Lyrics

Sun sets on the shoreline and the skyrise score into the air,
They only came as visitors here, they stayed ‘till they bought out every share.
Guided by a fortunate few, who gazed out their windows at the perfect view.
The more they gazed, the less they could see
what their every action was taking from me.
There was a time I don’t even recall when the earth gave her jewels
Now we’ve taken it all,
Sunk our teeth deep and we bring forth the fall,
As we shoot out our bullets from behind our great walls.

She gives us life and we take what we please,
‘Till we’ve taken it all with such incredible ease.
No more hunger or strife, we have far greater needs
Soon there’ll be nothing else,
for the root the root or the seed.

We’re slowly melting ice caps and the sea levels keep rising,
We’re digging out coals and oils and leaving holes beneath our feet.
The oceans are filling with oil and crude and
our body’s are filled with our poisonous food
Spiced with pesticides, the industries will thrive
And it doesn’t really matter who will make it out alive.
Because logic is failing to the weight of our greed
Another species has failed to irreversible deeds,
That they didn’t ask for but neither did we
So we all close our eyes, because it’s better not to see

How She gives us life and we take what we please,
‘Till we’ve taken it all with such incredible ease.
No more hunger or strife, we have far greater needs
Soon there’ll be nothing else,
for the root the root or the seed.
