A time in the future, not too far away   The death of our world, we are told   Destroyed by neglect, now breeding despair   The home of mankind is despoiled   Polluted oceans, unbreathable air   The life of the land under siege   Cancer is spreading and wasting the world   And mankind is now the disease      Look upon the world you knew   And say goodbye, it dies with you   Those who live when we are dead   Will curse our names, they 've inherited Hell      The forests are gone and the ocean destroyed   The world we once knew now is dead   The animals slaughtered, wild life in its grave   The sun burns too bright overhead   Cities collapsing and famine runs rampant   A nightmare where once there was life   Radiation and toxins a part of the children   Who will hate us until they die      We never stopped to think or reflect   On what we have done to the world   The heritage we live our children is Hell   A short life in pain what we mold   We 've squandered resources and wasted the land   And left little for those to come   They will have nothing to claim for their own   Except for the Hell we have shown
