Everything RotsDeveloping a wasteland to become a habitatA land of scum and filth for all to live on Extracting nutrients we cannot put back As clouds of acid rain gather above As a race we have infected the earth Stripped it of its dew Multiplied and sucked up all the life Desaturated hues Everything rots as we watch the mother spew Everything rots as we reap what we are due Choking on the fumes of the burning embers Sticking to the skin like napalm Engulfing all horizons with a blackened smog Singing all the fibres of the earth's palm As a race we have infected the earth Stripped it of its dew Multiplied and sucked up all the life Desaturated hues Everything rots as we watch the mother spew Everything rots as we reap what we are due The skies open - Acid rain strips our skin The surface of the earth breathes the poison in As flowers wilt the trees begin to drop their limbs Everything rots as life is washed away We lie lifeless under dissipating atmosphere Layers of protection no longer there As ecosystems crumble, Our factories still stand A globalised depletion of the imperative A bleak look for the world Scattered bodies on its surface tell the story well We now pray for the end Everything rots - We lament what we became Everything rots |
