lyrics

Verse 1:
Born in an age when man hates nature
Conscience overcome by greed
One of a species determined to lay waste
On dying earth we feed

Caught in man's short sighted ways
Unwilling to accept change
Torn by our own arrogance
A race that's gone deranged

Chorus:
What will happen to a species,
Incapable of foresight?
Why can't we just live and let live?

How can we justify,
Our present existence,
When we leave a shattered future tense?

Verse 2:
Alive in a world, dark by our misdeeds
Where we wander in our sleep
Left in a spiral of destruction
On a planet, abused and mistreated

Died in an age when time ceased to exist
Gaia's face grows cold
Felt her twist in torment
As the last resistance broke

Chorus:
What will happen to a species,
Incapable of foresight?
Why can't we just live and let live?
How can we justify,
Our present existence,
When we leave a shattered future tense?

[Instrumental]

[Solo: Fredrik Kjellgren]

[Verse 3]
For death by his own hand
Humanity is marked
Of this global genocide
Each man plays a part

[Solo: Fredrik Kjellgren]

Chorus:
What will happen to a species,
Incapable of foresight?
Why can't we just live and let live?
How can we justify,
Our present existence,
When we leave a shattered future tense?
