Empty Skies Lyrics

Empty Skies

We create the greenhouse gases

That deplete the ozone layer

Fossil Fuels burn to please the masses

For the future we just don't care

The earth is on fire

There's no rain in the sky

The smoke just rises higher

And the birds no longer fly

In our empty skies every thing is dying

We've got empty skies and we just don't realise

How frail-how fragile we are

How frail-how fragile we are

How frail-how fragile we are

We've got dead zones in the oceans

Can't support microscopic life

Plastic suffocates the plankton

Mammals and seabirds and fish can't survive

The icecaps are melting

The seas rise day by day

The sunspots they're exploding

Radiating ultraviolet rays

In our empty skies every thing is dying

We've got empty skies and we just don't realise

How frail-how fragile we are

How frail-how fragile we are

How frail-how fragile we are

We dig down deep in the planet

Extract all the gas, oil and coal

Millions of years lying dormant

From Mother Nature we have taken control

We cut down all the rain forest

No oxygen in the air

Once fertile land now returning to dust

Our pollution is everywhere

In our empty skies every thing is dying

We've got empty skies and we just don't realise

How frail-how fragile we are

How frail-how fragile we are

How frail-how fragile we are

Time will pass and bring the last of mankind's reign

From outer space not a trace of the blue atmosphere (one day)

Single cells will separate and recreate it all again

A new beginning, what will be living in three million years

A new beginning, what will be living in three million years

A new beginning, what will be living in three million years

How frail-how fragile we are

How frail-how fragile we are

How frail-how fragile we are
