Sonata Arctica
Wildfire, Pt. III - Wildfire, Town, Population: 0
You didn't come in peace
Wear a flower in your hair!
Didn't mean to harm
Anyone of us in here
You need what you take
Like a candle needs a snowflake
The roots are alive
And the bodies will rise
You can try the same
But you'll never have a dice
Waging a war to a mountain!
Death, eruption
Know that mountain wants you all begone
Thou wilt be gone!
You bring in the machines:
"Fire in the hole!"
Money is the power
And morals gotta go
Tomorrow comes
And the law is not a problem
Corruption!
On every standing nail
A hammer is to fall
No value in the oddities
Evolution's gone
Talk is cheap
But the suits are not!
Thy will be done
Thou wilt be dead!
You dig another hole
In the one you're standing in
Nothing is enough
For Generation Greed
Angels die for the cause
Long live the faction!
If you have access:
"It is fine to reave!"
You only destroy to be able to leave
This planet one day
What a perfect day!
Thy will be done
Thy will be done!
Thy will be done
Thou wilt be dead!
"Fiat iustitia, Pereat Mundus." (Tulkoon oikeus, tuhoutukoon maailma)
Seen so many of you die
Thy will be gone!
You are wasting your life
Use a pen as a knife
Always wanna take more
Than you ask for
All your promises reek
Gluttony makes you weak
Our planet is ever so grateful
Grateful when your offspring's gone
Done!
Gomorrah be gone!
Revolution, a new spin!
You don´t wanna dance
In the ballroom you're in
Mountain gives no hope
Line up to die now
You are in a battle
You're not supposed to win
Still you run to your death
Face it with a grin
Run home kids
While you still have homes
A place where you learn
About harmony and peace
These you never knew
Wish you would but never will
It's in your blood
But your blood runs thin
The mountain still wants to believe
You can turn the page again
You lose your hope here, one by one
Listen to me, son, you've got nowhere to run
You are not perfect at anything
Least of all in things, things we were always good at
Slow to learn, you are slow to learn
Children grow and burn, because you'll never learn
Thy will be done
Thy will be done!
Thy will be done
Thy will be, thy will be
Thou wilt be dead!
Species, generations
Extinct, evolved?
What you call progress
Must be put on hold!
To let you have your way is not an option!
"Using his burgeoning intelligence
This most successful of all mammals
Has exploited the environment
To produce food for an ever increasing population
Instead of controlling the environment
For the benefit of the population
Perhaps it is time we control the population
To allow the survival of the environment"
