Hourglass

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

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 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 under water/
And all the black blood that the earth has bled/
It will be repaid when our greed folds back
