Requiem for 2001 Songtext

von Carpetbagger

Small blue world
Spinning around in space
Some patches of green
Floating on the surface
Of a molten, liquid core
Under a blistering sun

On this island of life
A race of humans
Are poisoning themselves
And killing one another
As they celebrate the new millennium

Requiem for year 2001

Violence erupts
Across the Holy Land
Temples destroyed
By fanatic Muslim clerics
As the forces of intolerance prevail

Famine and disease
Ravaging Africa
Markets collapse
After years of speculation-driven
Growth fueled by blind greed
And bold-faced lies

Requiem for year 2001
It was one hell of a way
To usher in the start of a new millennium

And if you're looking for salvation
A peaceful brotherhood of man
An end to man's infatuation
With violent schemes and war-like plans
And age of moral elevation
You?d better wake up while you can!

?Cause you were deep in slumber
On the day the walls came tumbling down
