Tear for Life (What are we Doing?)

I hear the screams of the mothers crying.
I see the pains of the children dying.
We kill our future and hope for the best.
We all will end in an eternal rest.
What will it take to heal our wounds?
Why do we rape our earthly wombs?
What can we do to save our souls?
What can we do to make us whole?
What are we doing?
What are we doing?

Pain for pleasure, pleasure for pain.
Creating havoc for worthless gain.
We’re completely blinded by our powers,
It’s no wonder why Nature cowers.
We destroy the planet like a fly,
Not considering the reasons why.
We cut down what gets in our path.
We’ll torment, then laugh and laugh.
What are we doing?
What are we doing?

I feel the pain of the helpless soul.
I’m starting to lose all self-control.
The tears are rolling down my cheek.
Why must humanity be so bleak?
Our history is being written in crimson,
As we make this place our hellish prison.
As we continue with this agonizing grief
I will never breathe my sigh of relief.
