As Silent As Death

(album: How Your Influence Betrays You - 2011)

Everything will be silent
Silent as death
Our tomb is where we stand
Our tomb is where we stand

As we kill the earth with greed
We design our own demise
From the start our fate was sealed
Now it's time to pay the price

We won't see the sunrise, we won't hear the ocean roar
By the time everything has healed
We'll be buried deep under the soil

If only we just listened, this wouldn't be happening
Our actions took their toll
Now we start to fall

This addiction and disrespect
Brings us closer to our deaths
Now it's harder for us to face
Extinction of the human race

Feel the ground break
All the years of neglect, pray it's not too late
We brought this on ourselves
