Lyrics

Hello I welcome you to fear city, to hell Where the waters mix with blood, ignore the smell Of rotting morals and withered ethics Of shady deals and assassinations Of suicides and procrastination And our time ran out It looks like we're the next ones in line And the fuels are running low We hang from our lifeline Lies I won't believe a word you say when news are bad It's too difficult and besides it makes me sad I can fight, but it would be for something more important Like material possessions I'll fight for wealth We fight for wealth And our time ran out It looks like we're the next ones in line And the fuels are running low We choke on our own waste How can I defend Bringing children to this world How can I pretend There's salvation in these words A constant, constant struggle, a greed What are these things you need? Where's the use in your possessions When the air's unfit to breath Destroy so they will live You will not live on To erase life around you Your technology will banish you and save the world And our time ran out It looks like we're the next ones in line Destruction is salvation Escaping from our Denial, anger, bargaining, oppression No one should accept this We're out on our own Denial anger bargaining depression No god would allow this were left all alone We're left all alone No one will survive The future of our home Is for nature to thrive How can you defend Bringing children to this world How can I pretend There's salvation in these words Our lives are ruled by greed Our lives are ruled by fear Man's greatest achievement Will be to disappear Lies, control, depression We kill so they can live Mind controlled oppression There's no one to forgive Lies, control, depression We kill so they can live Mind controlled oppression We kill so they can live There's no one left to forgive
