Backburner

We're choking for air

Our planet is dying

You're destroying our homes

Our time is running out

You couldn't care less

Welcome to the wasteland - Backburner

You're running away

While the ones you left behind never had a chance to survive

Charred ground and blackened skies

Welcome to country - Backburner

The oceans rise

The forests burn

The earth shakes

It's screaming out for blood

You can't try to put us on the Backburner

This was not something that we could foresee

What will it take for you to wake up?

Get up!

Lands flourished for thousands of years

They were torn apart when they were taken from us

Deny it all you want

We will light the torch from under you

I can feel it in my bones

And I know that you can feel it too

The coming storm and the raging fires

I can see the fear in you eyes

Trust me I'll take solace in watching you suffer

You can't try to put us on the Backburner

This was not something that we could foresee

What will it take for you to wake up?

Get up!

We will light the flame

You can run away

Our fires will give life to this land once again
