Hypocrisy: Fractured Millennium

Fractured Millennium

by Hypocrisy (album: Hypocrisy)

Yeah!
I came from second universe,
my travels far.
Oh, mankind, I'm not pleased.
Is this the way you're supposed to be?
You're free from decay.
Doesn't anyone care anymore?
Killing your own world,
there's nothing to stop you.
Can't you see what you're doing?
It's gotta end
or nothing will be left.

Dying planet.
Mother Nature bleeding,
she will die.
Burning planet.
Burning lives,
indulging will commence

I'm scraping out in soil,
but there's nowhere to grow.
??? people rule
but you won't quit
No!
Ready to strike back
Ready for death
Armageddon waits near
For the rules of this world
You gotta go on 'til you die.
We're plundering and your money and
power is all you believe.
Praying to God who don't exist.
Can't you see what you're doing?
It's gotta end
or nothing will be there.

Dying planet.
Mother Nature bleeding,
she will die.
Burning planet.
Burning lives,
indulging will commence

Who would have thought that Hypocrisy had nature-related lyrics? I always had the idea that it was all about aliens and the end of the world —although they do mention the aliens—. But these are some nice lyrics, I like that they are much more aggressive than the ones one is used to reading in Folk Metal bands (not that those lyrics are not good). But the lyrics speak the true, and whilst people keep buying a new iPhone every year; we are slowly drowning in our own filth and destroying everything that is virgin.

Change is happening, without doubt —this blog is an example—. But will it come too late? Even more, what is important to acknowledge is that nature will survive. But we will not, for nature can survive without mankind, but mankind cannot survive without nature.

In the end, we are only killing ourselves.
