Time is running out

Verse 1

We extract oil from the earth, coal from the mountains,

dig for gold and metals, and more and more.

We clear the forests for profit and growth,

as if the earth's treasures were inexhaustible.

Every day a species becomes extinct,

every day a piece of nature disappears.

Global warming is not a theory,

it's happening now, right on our doorstep.

Chorus

When will the world have had enough?

When will we understand the price?

For power and money, we destroy

what sustains us.

When will the world have had enough?

Verse 2

The storms are getting fiercer, the droughts longer,

floods and fires are hitting us harder than ever.

Yet politicians, governments, and dictators keep talking,

as if there were no more borders on this planet.

Wars cost millions of lives,

hatred grows daily.

Humanity fights amongst itself,

instead of working together to preserve the future.

Soon water will be more precious than diamonds,

but money doesn't quench thirst.

And how long will it take

until we realize that you can't eat money?

Final Chorus

When will the world have had enough?

When will we finally wake up?

If we don't destroy ourselves,

the Earth will free itself from us.

When will the world have had enough?

Time has long since run out.

We wait until the cold freezes us,

and the eternal darkness finishes us off.

Human... you are gone and lost. And the Earth experiences a pure rebirth.
