We've Set This World On Fire

about

This track was written back in 2016, along with the lyrics.
At that time I could never imagine this to become a reality.
As a Russian citizen, I highly disapprove the nightmare that is happening.
This release is dedicated to those in Ukraine who did not deserve this madness at all.
No to war.

lyrics

You think there'll be another day
You hope that you can find a way
To save what's left, revive what's lost –
You know you must, at any cost!
But all that you can see around
A wasteland burning to the ground
Unfruitful and deserted lands
Created with your very hands!

There was an age
Not long ago
When human rage
Could not forego
Extermination of all things,
Yet, here we are – the weakest links!

The smartest tools
In dumbest hands,
That have no rules,
Destroy the lands,
Exhaust and desecrate the Earth –
They are its plague, its Doomsday Curse!

What can we do?
How can we fight?
Escape? Where to?
Nowhere to hide!
But does a creature screwing Life
Deserve to prosper and survive?

Lying…
Dying…
Life-denying!..

So vain and stupid, to which end aspire?
The human nature – nothing to admire!
Just futile greed and volatile desire!
Lo and behold: we've set this world on fire!...

…Ourselves!…

For in our misdeeds we need no help
From anyone else!..

Lying…
Dying…
Life-denying!..

So vain and stupid, to which end aspire?
The human nature – nothing to admire!
Just futile greed and volatile desire!
Lo and behold: we've set this world on fire!...
Cause and effect – we get what was expected!
All dots are here and finally connected!
This habitat will be our sacred pyre!
Is it for that we've set this world on fire?

Lying…
Dying…
Life-denying!..
To ourselves…
…And no way to get help
From anyone else!..
