lyrics

Waking nightmare
Life's hemorrhage goes on
Infinite sadness to see the world painted in gray
The selfish human nature, a short-term worldview
The greed of a power elite,have transformed the world
In an open mass grave

Seas wealth has been pillaged
Beaches, mountains are soiled
Green lungs are drilled
Agriculture turns the land into a desert
Cities devour the rest
Industry pours the poison
That will flow through the veins of a raped virgin
Ashamed of my species! Ecocide!

The fall of sublime, in a pernicious dizziness
Mankind confronts to its own denaturation
Can play the creators,
Can think we are indestructible
But the contempt of the roots makes
Giants with feet of clay

Waking nightmare!
The fall of sublime!

Everyone knows the close relationship
That links us to environment
More nature is wrecked ,more mankind's destroyed!
How are we going to be seen by the next generations
Like irresponsible profiteers!
Accused by history of an ecocide to a humanicide
The contempt of the roots makes
Giants with feet of clay
