Lyrics

A time in the future, not too far away
The death of our world, we are told
Destroyed by neglect and now breeding despair
The home of mankind is despoiled
Polluted oceans, unbreathable air
The life of the land under siege
A 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, wildlife in its grave
While 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 leave 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 sown
