lyrics

Safety

They're poisoning the water and they're poisoning the air,
Pillaging our mother but the pirates never care,
They're in it for the money, the power and the gold,
Nothing left is sacred when everything is sold.

Always scheming, never thinking,
Never feeling for those left unborn.

Give me solace, give me shelter,
Give me safety from the rising storm.

But wait a minute who is really us and who is them?
We thought they were our enemies it turns out we're their friends,
We're in this dance together now until the very end,
When you hate yourself there isn't room to makes amends.

Always scheming, never thinking,
Never feeling for those left unborn.

Give me solace, give me shelter,
Give me safety from the rising storm.

Ever greedy, always needy,
Clining to the paradigm of war.

Give me solace, give me shelter,
Give me safety from the rising storm.
