Nasum

I gaze at the smoldering ashes below
It chills my mind
What once was grand
Is but destruction and cinder bestowed
It�s not a haze, it�s not a phase
As we slaughter generations to come
Exploit our world
One more step and we�re done!
As we slaughter generations to come
One more step and we�re done!

We know it as civilization
Seems more like deprivation
I shun all, give us deliverance
Here comes our bitter penance
...And I detest!

A promise to protect
Not to conquer and oppress
What a mess
It seems nothing is sacred
When the earth is at stake
...And we regress
Unconscious use of resource
People, states and fear
I feel depressed
The liars we were to be
No earth for us to see

We know it as civilization
Seems more like deprivation
I shun all, give us deliverance
Here comes our bitter penance

Civil = evil!?
