On The Burial Ground

Incubus


Die by violence in this world 
Is nothing strange for us 
With all those chemicals, wars and destructions 
We do not know mother nature has in store for us 
The race for economy makes people forget 
The lives around this planet 
As men become more egoist 
Pretty soon 
there will be nothing in this world 
For men to spare 

[Pre-chorus:] 
Stupidity, causing pain 
And sickness 
To our world 
Suffer 

[Chorus:] 
On the burial ground 
Is what this planet is all about 
It's where we are right now 
We might not have any future to be found 
On this burial ground 
We have nowhere to hide 
Death is laughing at our cries 

And now we are feeling the effects 
That the forces of nature has brought 
The droughts, Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions 
It's gettin worse than even before 
We can see the revenge of this planet upon us 
As we keep hurting the sea 
The soil and the air 
Sometimes some catastrophic accidents happen 
Causting death rate and we wounder from where 
People are dying in civilization of different lands 
Because of the drought 
Occurences of flooding everywhere 
Killing innocent people and leaving others in despair 
Abomination because people fear that all these events 
Happen without any warning killing unexpectedly 
Men subjugate the forces of nature 
But we don't know that it's destroying us slowly 

The animals are becoming extinct 
Seas and rivers polluted by toxic waste 
Combustible smoke 
Factories are creating acid rains 
That is burning our skins 
Damaging plantations 
And soon it will bring us to death 
Air pollution is disintegrating our atmosphere 
Allowing the ultra-violet rays to burn the earth 
And to provoke us fear 

[Repeat chorus] 
[Lead] 

Soon some of the lives on this planet 
Won't exist anymore 
Because we won't be able to recreate 
Some of the beauty thta we had before 
Nobody seems to care 
About the future of our children's civilizations 
We better act now 
So they won't have a life of torment and frustration 

[Repeat pre-chorus, chorus] 

Cursed by men this world has become 
We are building our own tombs 
By eliminating our source of life 
When blindly we continue the destructions 
There's no future 
Day by day we are reaching the end of our lives
