Feat. Björn Speed Strid from Soilwork and The Night Flight Orchestra

lyrics

The assumption of a better life for Human societies
Led us to improve science and technologies
But we’ve pushed too far our lust for money, power, and fame
Heading toward misery, we’re doomed, end of the game

What can we do? What will you do?
What can we do? What will you do?
What can we do? What will you do?
Nothing

Without safeguards, nor morals, finance generates abuse
Playing with global markets, the wolves of Wall Street got loose

Stock traders and state liars
Are together hand in hand
With corruption and Ponzi schemes
They’ll let us die and no one dares to
Destroy the system
What can we do? What will you do?
What can we do? What will you do?
What can we do? What will you do?
Nothing

We all look for a better life
But we cross so many lines
We all look for a better life
It’s a tug of war
We rush forward and leave behind
Any sense of shame
We push, we drive, we force
Our footprint of shame

We build big blocks everywhere, we’re destroying every mound
Pristine forests are shrinking, planet Earth becomes barren ground
Personal interests collide and compete, endless growth was a smokescreen
As we wipe out species diversity, our egotism is peaking

The worst-case scenario
Lies ahead in front of us
But the seeds of our own destruction
Rooted years and years ago
Perverted system
What can we do? What will you do?
What can we do? What will you do?
What can we do? What will you do?
Nothing

We all look for a better life
But we cross so many lines
We all look for a better life
It’s a tug of war
We fall from grace, we’re all the same
(Un)til the end of our time
We push, we drive, we force
Our footprint of shame

Life’s besieged!
Too late
We are dead
No debate
Life’s besieged!
Too late
We are dead
No debate

Escalation, escalation
Escalation, escalation

Who paint the color of despair (and) rev up the engine of hate?
Goodbye blue sky, hello concrete
We’re little ants, we screwed everything

What can we do? What will you do?
Escalation, acceleration
The worst-case scenario
Lies ahead in front of us
But the seeds of our own destruction
Rooted years and years ago

Life’s besieged!
Too late
We are dead
No debate

The worst guests
Hostages
From ourselves
Ashamed

We all look for a better life
Too late
We are dead
No debate

We all looked for a better life
For ourselves
But our destiny is at war
