Scorched Earth Lyrics

There was once vast green forests around

Green hills and flowers everywhere to be found

We wandered through natures bliss

Under the green roof we shared some kiss

But now look at what it has become

I look around and feel overcome

Anger, hate and quite some more

They do shake me to my deepest core

What have you done you simple ones

Let all those machines make mad runs

You locked away those who tried to protect

Do your heads all have big defects?

Look at what we all have done

We destroyed natures green to get ourself some

You all screamed 'Hey, look at my struggle too'

But voted in the pack that does not pay it's own due

They gave you simple answer to complex questions

But they lied with every word and all expressions

You are to simple minded to understand

Never really cared for any of your demands

When we once danced in dawn's soft light,

Under ancient oaks, sturdy and bright,

We sang of lands that would never end,

But now they burn, and no one will mend.

Our rivers, once pure, now run black,

Choked by smoke, no way to turn back.

What's left for those who tried to heal?

Buried under the turning steel.

How did it come to be so torn?

Fields laid waste, dreams all worn.

Machines grow fat on our dying earth,

Robbing our land of its worth.

Look at what we all have done

We destroyed natures green to get ourself some

You all screamed 'Hey, look at my struggle too'

But voted in the pack that does not pay it's own due

They gave you simple answer to complex questions

But they lied with every word and all expressions

You are to simple minded to understand

Never really cared for any of your demands

In ashes now our forests lie,

Under grey skies we wonder why.

So when you breathe that factory air,

Remember green fields that once were there.
