Nasum - A Civil Critique lyrics

[Music & lyrics: Jesper] I gaze at the smouldering ashes below It chills my mind What once was grand Is but destruction and cinder bestowed It's not a haze, it's not a phase As we slaughter generations to come Exploit our world One more step and we're done! As we slaughter generations to come One more step and we're done! We know it as civilization Seems more like depravation I shun all, give us deliverance Here comes our bitter penance ...And I detest! A promise to protect Not to conquer and oppress What a mess It seems nothing is sacred When the earth is at stake ...And we regress Unconscious use of resource People, states and fear I feel depressed The liars we were to be No earth for us to see We know it as civilization Seems more like depravation I shun all, give us deliverance Here comes our bitter penance Civil = evil!?
