Burning the Sun - Royal Hunt

Empires were built through the centuries drones

On somebodys flesh and on somebodys bones

Creating our needs while dumping what’s left —

Now nature’s dying, it’s choking to death

Tell me for how long

We’re burning the sun, we’ll tear down the mountain

And drink out the river 'till the river’ll run dry

We’ll shoot at the stars, or torture the ocean

'til Earth will stop breathing and wind wouldn’t fly

We’ve buried ourselves by building a tower

To climb up to heaven — we’re falling to hell

We’re burning the sun, we’ll tear down this mountain

And drink out the river until the river runs dry

As we’re gaining strengh — the world’s getting weak

We’re blowing away the remains as we speak

Another decade, we’re pushing some more

Destroying the walls while we’re closing the door

When the forest turns to desert, when the river turns to mud

When the air becomes a treasure — who allowed to tear it all apart?
