Lyrics:

Millions of tons of them deep down the sea
instinctively feeding us
And every single tree breeding our survival
Are we aware of what they do

We all search for that black gold
need it to run our filthy machines
A rusty ship with secular load leaks it all out into the ocean
Black mass climbing ashore
Drilling it - Wasting it
Spilling it - refilling it
What happens when it ends?

On and on we go, nothing is in our way
We'll become our own doom one day
All is lost unless we change the way we live
Can we possibly awaken in time

Draw your sword, no time for negotiations,
a nuclear war upon us.
No reason why, yet all the missiles fly,
conquering a city burt to the ground.
At the cost of human blood.
Dominate - eradicate.
Devastate - exterminate.
Burning bodies all you see.

The higher we rise, the further we will fall.
Which catastrophe shall lay our souls to rest?
How long will it take to fulfil the prophecy?
In what way will we terminate life of earth?

When we chop the last tree, drill the last oil,
poison the last drip of water.
When we drop the final bomb that exterminates all,
a stunning silence fills the air.
Then we realize what's left behind is forever lost,
we cant go back.
By the time we realize what should have been done,
is the world still to be saved?

On and on we go, nothing is in our way
We'll become our own doom one day
All is lost unless we change the way we live
Can we possibly awaken in time
