Earth set afire

Feel the burning winds as they melt you from within

Mass destruction

Nothing left from our corruption

The sky silently burning in the clearing smoke

With winter coming what happened to all the warnings

Millions dead the decaying bodies left unburied

Life is diseased

Then all life will be deceased

With one mans greed becoming a nation’s need

So the father set the deed

All is gone all is lost

To this fucking holocaust
