Critical Mass Lyrics by Shadows Fall

Retribution

2009

[Verse 1]
The bio-sphere, the place we live
It seems like we don't give a damn
Other species flushed down the tubes
We need another race to rape
The way we live, we will destroy
Every other living thing
Till none are left except our race
And then we will destroy ourselves

[Chorus]
Another oil spill!
Atomic waste displaced!
Another forest dies!
Bring on the acid rain!

[Verse 2]
Slightly insane, the type of greed
That makes a world unfit for life
Toxic wastes destroy the seas
While poison gas pollutes the air
A waste of life, while no one cares
The earth becomes a giant tomb
Critical mass will be achieved
And ruins will be all that's left

[Chorus]
Another oil spill!
Atomic waste displaced!
Another forest dies!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
A hell on earth, what we create
Dragging life to death with us
All living things destroyed or used
By shortsighted human beings
We do these things, let them be done
Apathy creates despair
The damage done will be too great
The world wounded beyond repair

[Chorus]
Another oil spill!
Atomic waste displaced!
Another forest dies!
