Iced Earth
Soylent Green
[Verse 1]
The earth has suffered overpopulation
All our rations have been dominated
We look to them for answers to our hunger
Food made from you and I
Increasing their supply

[Verse 2]
The land is stripped and so barren
Our people must take a stand
Luxuries passed are now savored
We can't even live off the land

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Corruption eating us alive
Our guts are filled with their lies

[Verse 3]
Humans controlled and in turmoil
Defy and you're taken away
The secret is kept from the people
Their lives are left to decay

[Pre-Chorus 2]
In line, denied, they've had enough
No food, no work, they must rise up
[Chorus]
Their greed has left us all for dead
We are so unaware
They encourage suicide
The truth we must unveil

[Verse 4]
One man will come to expose them
He'll be a thorn in their side
Danger around every corner
The order must be defied

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Descend upon their wicked rule
People need to know they're fooled

[Verse 5]
Nourishment made in a compound
Sustenance from you and I
Taken and processed to feed them
Death will increase their supply

[Pre-Chorus 4]
Swallow their lies you satisfy
Accept your fate before you die
[Chorus]
Their greed has left us all for dead
We are so unaware
They encourage suicide
The truth we must unveil

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
We need to stop them some way, somehow
The truth was hidden from the people until now
Your final moments are so serene
It's humans that they're eating
It's Soylent Green
