Humanity's Failure (lyrics)

this world is dying - with each brick laid rises a castle of ruin
ocean levels rising - is a future of decay worth pursuing?
deforestation - strips the land of a much needed resource
overpopulation - every filthy child is an incurable virus
planted seeds of self-destruction - growing too fast to maintain
elements of construction - frail and numbered, all existence wanes
inhumane corporations - cancerous infectants
violent lacerations - malformed infants
nuclear resolutions - internal bleeding
savage retribution - stimuli deceiving
castration of the past leaves no hope for the future
prevention is the only fight against this disease that has no cure
descending, miscalculating - the forfeit of nature
the silence, the violence - humanity's failure
the ashes...they fall - swirling gray like the clouds in your mind
life slows to a crawl - only shadows upon shadows the sunlight can find
new adaptations deny old life - acid rain washes the blood away
skeletons of martyrs left behind - in blackened soil their bodies lay
inhumane corporations - cancerous infectants
violent lacerations - malformed infants
nuclear resolutions - internal bleeding
savage retribution - stimuli deceiving
castration of the past leaves no hope for the future
prevention is the only fight against this disease that has no cure
descending, miscalculating - the forfeit of nature
the silence, the violence - humanity's failure
the future will only be as strong as the ideas that build it
the future will only be as strong as the ideas that build it
the future will only be as strong as the ideas that build it
the future will only be as strong as the ideas that build it
