"Survival Of Mankind" lyrics

Depicted in the old books
A time before our planet was turned into dust
With air we could breathe
And water so sweet

Long before the bombs reduced mankind
Onto the brink of our extinction
Lands were green, the oceans clean with clear blue skies

Wastelands as far as your eyes can behold
Those before us brought destruction and despair
Now it's up to us remaining few to show we care
For the survival of mankind

Pollution and seclusion
The few that still remain need to fight to survive
A tragic ordeal of what became real
Whoa oh

Trudging through the dust and toxic waste
A silent landscape
Nothing of the beauty from the past remains

Wastelands as far as your eyes can behold
Those before us brought destruction and despair
Now it's up to us remaining few to show we care
For the survival of mankind

Through selfishness and neglect
We have brought this upon ourselves
Waging pointless wars
Depleting our resources
Bringing mankind to its knees
This is our last chance
We must not let history repeat itself

Wastelands as far as your eyes can behold
Those before us brought destruction and despair
Now it's up to us remaining few to show we care
To show and prove that we all care
That we can't go on and continue to be blind
For the survival of mankind
