Footprints Songtext
von Traveller

We bury the world under steel and concrete
A tomb that we praise as cities and streets
All the colours we had, we made them fade to grey
As the forests and seas dry up and decay

Concrete and steel of the streets that we′ve built
Paved our lungs and paved our way into misery
How can we breathe when we rip our own lungs?
As long as we have breath this needs to be sung


This plague that we've sowed with a bleeding hand
This plague that we′ve reaped from the passing land
We've taken it too far, that, we have to grant
Before we turn everything into glass and sand
Into glass and sand
Into glass and sand

We're in denial when we should be in action
We ignore facts, we rearrange our perception
We stand there gazing with one foot in the grave
If we don′t dig out the truth we′ll be buried beneath

This plague that we've sowed with a bleeding hand
This plague that we′ve reaped from the passing land
We've taken it too far, that, we have to grant
Before we turn everything into glass and sand

It′s too late to repent when all that's left are footprints in the sand

We bury the world under steel and concrete
A tomb that we praise as cities and streets
All the colours we had, we made them fade to grey
As the forests and seas dry up and decay
