Environmental Eclipse

Apocalyptic policies

That neglect the environment and diminish the future

Because the zealots in power

Those ruling are ruled by their faith in the scriptures

When the environment takes a backseat to religion

Are they serving our interests or just succumbing to fiction?

There’s no more hope for our future when we’re governed by fear

Of the political holy men who believe the end is near

This is the end

The end is here

We’re all dead

Governed by fear

Fear of the end

Environmental eclipse

We’re already dead

Governing for the apocalypse

Their distain for this world

Is obvious in the content of their environmental laws

They never hear the cries of nature

Which are drowned out by the sound of corporate applause

They don’t seem to realize what’s really at stake

They can’t see the forest for the trees when they’re blinded by faith

They can’t comprehend how much their policies are flawed

When they’re busy groveling, down on their knees, before god

This is the end

The end is here

We’re all dead

Governed by fear

Fear of the end

Environmental eclipse

We’re already dead

Governing for the apocalypse

The second coming is coming

So there’s really no need to take care of the earth

They just live for today

And bleed the planet for all that it’s worth

But do they live for today or are they living for death?

Do they really feel god breathing down the back of their necks?

It’s their faith in the end that we’ll all live to regret

When our children inherit the wasteland that’s left

This is the end

The end is here

We’re all dead

Governed by fear

Fear of the end

Environmental eclipse

We’re already dead

Governing for the apocalypse
