Cancerous Lyrics

Concrete jungles bleed the sky dry

Factories smoke choking out the sun

Progress laughing as rivers weep oil

Body of earth writhes in our bloodlust

We march with blinders trample sacred ground

Digging graves for riches only to bury life

Mindless beasts feasting on the flesh of Gaia

Empires built on bones of fallen trees

Cancerous we thrive destruction's our name

Devouring creation like ravenous flame

Blind to the truth that in death we'll find

Our demise in mother earth's poisoned spine

Skies scream in silent agony beneath our might

Forests crumble under greed's iron fist

Mountains weep their souls to the darkened sea

Living on borrowed time mother earth's plea

Parasites in suits trading futures for gold

Ecosystem cries crushed by the weight of gain

Ravaging the land fuel for the machine

Feeding on the marrow of dreams unseen

We can't see the end through the haze we make

Buying our doom with a smile and a shake

Filing away tomorrows for yesterday's ghosts

Oblivious that we're eating our host
