The Orphaning

Storm and sea

Punish us piece by piece

But world economy must grow

If we drown, we drown in luxury

Why should we save lives we'll never meet?

Why should we not destroy?

...ourselves

We're dancing to the end on volcanoes

Screaming pantomimes in our ears

At night, we set our beds ablaze

Orphaning the future - orphaning ourselves

The change we cause

Will slowly destroy your tiny world

And you have nothing to stay

You're helpless

Consumed

Why should we save lives we'll never meet?

Why should we not destroy ourselves?
