Analysis of what have we done
what have we done
it is a crying shame
we are killing the world
it can never be the same
day after day
we kill a little more
it shouldnt be like this
it is not what we are born for
gods getting angry
he hashad enough
he will kill everyone and everyone
the whole lot
and when you are in heaven
you ask him why
he will tell you what you did
and why you had to die
but then is to late
thers no going back
the world will be dead
cold dark and black
