This Planet's Burning

Scarlet skies raging, damnation has blown
The ozone is failing, oh, no!
Down in the valley, where mutations sleep
Lost in the shadows below
Insane, the leaders are burning the place to the ground
Assuring destruction, they surley must see that this sounds

This planets burning, oh
This planets burning, oh

Shapes in the distance, race to the point
Dispersing their load as they go
Far on the horizon a mushroom has grown
It's shape looms across the plateau
Dawn sees a new world of active babaric delight
Scorched grains of human flesh, left from the fighting that night

This planets burning, oh
This planets burning, oh

The mist that was forming, has gone to the wind
All that remains is the ash
But high up above us, the sky is still red
Scorched from the atoms they cast
Left are not people but remnants of all that has been
No one to hear us, no one to say what has been seen

This planets burning, oh
This planets burning, oh

This planets burning, burning, burning
