about

written about the open cast mine in the hambach forest

lyrics

the hole devours the ground like a starving storm
with the most brutal signs of human life erupting from the core
the flesh of the earth is paraded and piled for all to see
until the edges arent distant anymore they're at the feet of you and me

and im ashamed im sickened to the stomach to know im one of them
everything this earth has eve grown to be is crushed in their mighty metal hands
and im crying im speechless when i see their bodies are just like mine
but we just have to take one look into the hole to see their fucked up minds

no home is safe from these jaws no nest no burrow no house
only money feeds and fuels the flames the flames that cant be put out
and when the trees hit the floor of the forest they cant be heard for the sound
of worldwide domination soon they'll be comin to your town

when you sleep at night what is it that haunts you in your dreams
is it the sound of this world dying is it the animals screams
theres no justice in your words no room for complacency
no time for indifference to the lives you crush so easily
i hope you toss and turn i hope you never get to sleep
i hope you hear the cries of the forest every time you fucking breathe
i hope you hate yourselves in ways you'll never truly understand
and for what the wads of money in your hands!
