A Period Of Consequences

[lyrics: Damen] [music: Damen, Loots, Trancez] [arranged by Crimson Falls] Tornadoes and typhoons raging across the land Hurricanes devastating homes and futures Ice caps melt down, glaciers retreat In advancing deserts, too much mouths to feed This is a period of consequences By a natural cycle or at man's expenses? Shortage of water suffocates the south While melting ice reaches northern mouths Tropical diseases rise up faster than cures Giant swarms of insects, more than agriculture endures Ecological imbalance through global warming Through excess in discharge of CO²? Did we make the wrong assumptions and welter in disinterest? After the era of indifference, now a period of consequences? Another period of consequences Have we been digging our own grave, rotting corpses warming the earth Time for a change has past, too late to turn back time Have we been digging our own grave, rotting corpses warming the earth Time for a change has past, too late to turn back time This is a period of consequences By a natural cycle or at man's expenses? Ecological imbalance through global warming Through excess in discharge of CO²? Did we make the wrong assumptions and welter in disinterest? After the era of indifference, now a period of consequences? Numerous scientific data leave no doubt. Though there are still insecurities, it's an irrefutable fact that our climate is heating faster than we could expect based on a natural evolution. So is Al Gore right after all? Let's not forget the Gore family hasn't always been right & missed the (headbanger's) ball more than once in the past. Wasn't it Misses Tipper Gore who claimed metal music was the root of all evil in the world? That metal-bands set up youngsters to sell their soul to the devil by hidden messages in their music? Luckily we all know by now that METAL IS THE LAW! Now go dance with the devil!
