Behind Enemy Lines – Environmental Eclipse lyrics

Apocalyptic policies
That neglect the environment and diminish the future
Because the zealots in power
Those ruling are ruled by their faith in the scriptures
When the environment takes a backseat to religion
Are they serving our interests or just succumbing to fiction?
There's no more hope for our future when we're governed by fear
Of the political holy men who believe the end is near
This is the end
The end is here
We're all dead
Governed by fear
Fear of the end
Environmental eclipse
We're already dead
Governing for the apocalypse
Their distain for this world
Is obvious in the content of their environmental laws
They never hear the cries of nature
Which are drowned out by the sound of corporate applause
They don't seem to realize what's really at stake
They can't see the forest for the trees when they're blinded by faith
They can't comprehend how much their policies are flawed
When they're busy groveling, down on their knees, before god
This is the end
The end is here
We're all dead
Governed by fear
Fear of the end
Environmental eclipse
We're already dead
Governing for the apocalypse
The second coming is coming
So there's really no need to take care of the earth
They just live for today
And bleed the planet for all that it's worth
But do they live for today or are they living for death?
Do they really feel god breathing down the back of their necks?
It's their faith in the end that we'll all live to regret
When our children inherit the wasteland that's left
This is the end
The end is here
We're all dead
Governed by fear
Fear of the end
Environmental eclipse
We're already dead
Governing for the apocalypse
