Living in the Age of Mass Extinction

歌詞

We're at the present time living in a age of mass extinction. Each year, more than 20.000 unique especies disappear from this planet forever. This represents more that two species for hour. Mass extinction is the outcome of the ever increasing pogress of the machinery of civilization. Alienated from the natural world Guided by the anthropocentric attitudes The average human being is unaware and uncaring About the biological holocaust Rise up and fight back How long will the Earth survive? Rise up and fight back Or it will be too late Mankind - the plague killing the Earth Unseeing eyes, uncaring hearts Human impact on the Earth must diminish For the violent assault on nature to cease You have been taught that you have freewill, That you have the right to do whatever you feel like. So do you really think you are free? But your freedom is a lie, at the expense of others who die Countless, with every second passing by Countless, they suffer, they die We must find again your roots to link ourselves back to the Earth It's a way in wich to search for the truth Rise up and fight back How long will the Earth survive? Rise up and fight back Or it will be too late The facts are clear. More plant and animal species will go trough extinction within our generation than have been lost for natural causes over the past two hundred million years. And that will be the price of progress, ecological collapse, the death of the Nature. Day after Day this world draws closer to the end
