Common Enemy

Now we have a common enemy Nature's force is staring back at me I feel alone and know it cannot be That there are those who still refuse to see There's nothing you and I can do There's nothing you and I can say When the sun burns through it all Monuments of man will fall What did it get us in the end? Flaming day by day Freezing in the dark Choking on decay Fill my lungs with grey I swear we've heard it all before Yet we still must do more We have passed the final hour Deserted by those who hold power When the last one's carried away When the night becomes the day When the sun burns through our eyes Will we then have realized? What did it get us in the end? Flaming day by day Freezing in the dark Choking on decay Fill my lungs with grey While the world was scorching Gluttons fanned the flames Pissing on their minions As they play their heartless games Generations left to toil A future worse than grim An endless slog to be alive The hearts of man grow ever dim
