They burned our lungs
For something fleeting
for something that we won't need
when we're in the ground
And they scorched our earth
Made nature a game
to see how far it could go
They pushed agendas
and shoved christianity
onto and into every life
And they burned out trees
and killed our animals
forced themselves on us and her
She'll only forgive us
when we're finally dead
Shell only return
when there's no trace left

They burned our lungs
For something fleeting
for something that we won't need
when we're in the ground
And they scorched our earth
Made nature a game
to see how far it could go
They pushed agendas
and shoved christianity
onto and into every life
And they burned out trees
and killed our animals
forced themselves on us and her
She'll only forgive us
when we're finally dead
Shell only return
when there's no trace left
