Dancing on Our Grave Songtext
von Tankard

This living planet is dying fast
Beset by parasites a terrifying plague
Does mankind have a right to live?
We take the earth for what she has and death we give
Atomic powers and acid rain
The ozone gone, you ask what′s going on, we're

Dancing on our grave - careless with no regrets
Dancing on our grave - there′s no more turning back
Eons of evolution ravaged by pollution, now we are
Dancing on our grave


Civilization reeks of its waste
A toxic curse that lies forever on the race
Emissions killing silently
Get in the ground, the air, the water, every tree
Tipping the balance that nature held
We aimed at others but we shot ourselves, we're

An eco-revolution is the sole solution, but we're
Dancing on our grave

Pleading for nature is trendy now
Deeds are replaced by words while time is running out
We didn′t care for much too long
Catastrophes, extinction, cancer prove us wrong
The train of "progress" still races on
Straight to the gates of Hell, bid you farewell

Once man has been erased, the world might be a better place, we′re
Dancing on our grave
