Aye, ah
Aye, ah
[Verse 1]
It was a blood red summer
One I can't forget
When you took the one thing
All in this world I had left
For I will remember
Until the end of time
If it takes forever
Retribution will be mine
[Pre-Chorus]
This I know
In the end
But I wanted you to know
That I won't forget, no
[Chorus]
In the fields you'll hear us crying
For the ones we've lost and loved
Underneath the savage sun
[Verse 2]
How many killing seasons
Can you justify?
How many dead and bleeding
Only for an ivory lie?

Or was it for the thrill?
If I could have my way
Know yours would be the blood I'd spill
[Pre-Chorus]
But I won't
Not today
'Cause revenge is best served cold
This I know, so I wait, oh
[Chorus]
In the fields you'll hear us crying
For the ones we've lost and loved
'Cause the evil never stops and we keep dying
Underneath a savage sun
Underneath the savage sun
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
How many bleeding and how many die?
All for the greed of an ivory lie
When will they see what they’ve done isn't right?
The blood that they spill cannot be justified
How many bleeding and how many died?
The blood that they spill cannot be justified
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
In the fields you'll hear us crying
For the ones we've lost and loved
'Cause the evil never stops and we keep dying
Underneath a savage sun
Underneath the savage sun

An elephant is killed every 15 minutes for its ivory and the result is the elephant population has declined 95% in the past century,“ Slash says. "Seeing that these majestic animals are on the path to extinction, possibly within the next decade,...
