Abney Park – When Darkness Come

Great balls of fire are rolling towards the sky

You know they’re burning off the methane of those who have died

You got ten percent population living on the streets

And picking through the garbage cans for something to eat

Chorus

I know the problem here

It stares us in the face

I see it all too clear

Too large a human race

And when the darkness comes,

And day is pushed aside

The pandemonium,

You know it’s genocide

Eating up our ecosphere to try to survive

And now we’re eating up each other to just stay alive

Before long all our bodies will fill all the earth’s face

Consequence and solution: the end of our race

Chorus (2x)

Tearing down the forests despite blood and gore

Digging at the crust and siphoning earth’s core

Laughing at the collision of technology and man

While killing off those who have been forced to be fed from our hand

Chorus (2x)
