Inherited Hell

A time in the future, not too far away The death of our world, we are told Destroyed by neglect, now breeding despair The home of mankind is despoiled Polluted oceans, unbreathable air The life of the land under siege Cancer is spreading and wasting the world And mankind is now the disease Look upon the world you knew And say goodbye, it dies with you Those who live when we are dead Will curse our names, they 've inherited Hell The forests are gone and the ocean destroyed The world we once knew now is dead The animals slaughtered, wild life in its grave The sun burns too bright overhead Cities collapsing and famine runs rampant A nightmare where once there was life Radiation and toxins a part of the children Who will hate us until they die We never stopped to think or reflect On what we have done to the world The heritage we live our children is Hell A short life in pain what we mold We 've squandered resources and wasted the land And left little for those to come They will have nothing to claim for their own Except for the Hell we have shown
