We try to breathe in life, but only breathe in dust And the smoke in the streets sings a song of disgust We were given a place full of diversity But we poisoned it with no remedy We've built our world into an hourglass With us at the bottom and the nature above Tell me, is this how you want the world to end? We drown in excuses that we can't take back again The earth has given what the human hadn't earned Mankind looted it out, but calls it deserved All the black gold that we stole from our mother Will leave us and our cities deep down under water We try to breathe in life, but only breathe in dust And the smoke in the streets sings a song of disgust We were given a place full of diversity But we poisoned it with no remedy With no remedy We've built our world into an hourglass With us at the bottom and the nature above Tell me, is this how you want the world to end? We drown in excuses that we can't take back again All the black gold that we stole from our mother Will leave us and our cities deep down under water And all the black blood that the earth has bled It will be repaid when our greed folds back
