Ash and Decay
Flames die and wither away Ash and decay Bright days turn into dark starry nights Hard rains, ozone burned skies prophets lie The Helpless Die A Mother cries They tear down forests for their fruit Criminal ties in offices with their fancy suits Strip the fur from their backs til their nude Wars over oil, and they call it crude Chock full of GMO, and they call it food The plague grows, and it knows That it's its own foes The poison seeps The concrete creeps the earth weeps And there's nothing left to eat Wild eyes and ocean waves Quickly to the caves Outrun the ash live another day Flames die and wither away Ash and decay
