The Devil We Made Lyrics

We knew what was to happen

We knew what was in store

We knew it so much better

Than the ones who came before

We cared for all the children

But frankly not at all

We cared for all the flowers

But still we chose to fall

Let's watch the world go down

That is what we do best

Ignoring Mother's pain

We rulers of the west

Let's watch creation's flame

Turn to fumes of decay

It's time to face the devil we made

We really had it coming

How badly we behaved

Introducing fish to crisp bags

Having woods and jungles shaved

We thickened the air around us

With global shopping hauls

With long distance trips on weekends

And now, judgement day calls

Let's hear the sky shatter

Like an orb of glass

It all doesn't matter

All is going to pass

Let's hear terminal melodies

Making all null and void

Let's listen to the devil we made

The masses are in panic

The blue planet has turned red

Watching it all from the bunkers

Into which we have fled

But in time, we will all be dead

Once prospering landscapes broken

Waters have run dry

The human metropolis has sunken

Into scorching pits of fire

And choirs from days forgotten

Flawlessly sing we-told-you-so

Brought to our knees by the very own devil we made

The very own devil we made

The very own devil we made
