Toxic Waltz 가사

In the shadow of the smokestacks, under skies of ashen gray Lies a tale of our creation, and the price we have to pay The wheels of progress turning, with a hum that fills the air But the breath of Mother Nature gasps in silent, dark despair Oh, the rivers run with sorrow, and the air's too thick to breathe Industries keep on burning, the mark they leave We're caught in a dance with the devil, in the name of the machine But the cost of this waltz is the world that we've seen Through the clatter and the clamor, where the molten giants roar There's a rhythm to the madness, but what are we fighting for? The earth cries out beneath us, yet we turn a deafened ear Chasing dreams of golden fortunes, while we're steeped in toxic fear Oh, the rivers run with sorrow, and the air's too thick to breathe Industries keep on burning, the mark they leave We're caught in a dance with the devil, in the name of the machine But the cost of this waltz is the world that we've seen Oh, the rivers run with sorrow, and the air's too thick to breathe Industries keep on burning, the mark they leave We're caught in a dance with the devil, in the name of the machine But the cost of this waltz is the world that we've seen Can we be the guardians, the keepers of the flame? Turn the tides of this battle, and end this deadly game It's a call to the dreamers, the ones who dare to see A world where the air is clean, and the waters run free Oh, the rivers run with sorrow, and the air's too thick to breathe Industries keep on burning, the mark they leave We're caught in a dance with the devil, in the name of the machine But the cost of this waltz is the world that we've seen So let's rise with the dawn, with hearts both strong and keen To heal the wounds we've opened, and bring life to this scene For the future's not yet written, and the past is just a guide Let's paint a new horizon, where the earth and sky collide
