lyrics

TESTAMENT: FOR THE DYING EARTH

"If you read these words
It means that I've already left this world
A place I can't recognize"
"And I leave behind
nothing but tears and ash
A waste of time... A waste of time...
To live
To die
To make this Earth a living hell
and still much less than what you'll find"
"That's the way of mankind
We take and take even when we die"

"Our Mother is dying
Oceans drowning in the filth
and trash we dump
A climate crisis
And we did nothing wondering
how much it'd cost"

"Hate and fascism
Rising as the ignorant
didn't care at all
We were selfish
when we needed to take care
of each other most"

"The 1% owns and hoards almost a half
of all there is
with our consent
When we should be
rolling their heads down the street
But all we do is to just look away
So the blame is in our hands
I... I...
I was just as guilty as the rest"

"And you?
What will you do while the Earth needs your help?
Will you listen to this song and do nothing
Nothing more?"

Chorus:
"Will the Sun shine there?
Will life be a nightmare?
Or will our children smile again?
Will you hear this, my song?
Last song, last chance to save the world
For the dying Earth"

"The seas are lost
The trees are gone
The animals won't exist for long
The world we know was built with blood
of those who can't dream of a home
Those cool shirts of your band
Sure made by little children hands
As were the shoes you wear
How can we sleep?
How can we eat?
How can we live when not far from here
Less than three hours by plane
our neighbors live in hell?
And then commotion
when they cross the ocean
in a quest for hope
A deadly road
They're risking their lives
Their children's and their wives'
We really deserve
to be punished for our crimes
one of these days"

Chorus:
"Will the Sun shine there?
Will life be a nightmare?
Or will our children smile again?
Will you hear this, my song?
Last song, last chance to save the world
For the dying Earth
Lovely Earth"

Guitar solo: Feat. Darío Peña

Chorus:
"Will the Sun shine there?
Will life be a nightmare?
Or will our children smile again?
Will you hear this, my song?
Last song, last chance to save the world
For the dying Earth"

"No One at birth
And I was still No One at the end
This is my last will:
Feed my body to the Earth"

As No One lived
No One sang
No One whined
No One died
Now you're free
Rest in peace
Because this is the end of
The Story of No One
