The Dark Side of Progress Lyrics


(1992 - Music: Lanfranchi M. - Lyrics: D´Ambrosio S.)

Lookin' out at the world

I realise that all is changing,

nature is destroyed under iron jaws

life is dying, there's no future.

Earth was better in ancient times

the air was clean, the creatures ran free

now it's over, the Eden cannot last

the sun goes down, black shadows rise.

Foul waters, poison in the air

world is killed in the name of human greed

all for gain, asphalt replaces the green.

Walk of progress, it never stops

and the forests are razed to the ground,

we are near to self destruction.

There are few hopes for future

humanity's digging its grave.

Chorus:

We live in a sad, grey world

ruled by hatred and greed.

Poorness and misery overcome

plagues kill day by day.

Bombs fall down from the sky

and the cities become a pile of ruins

life has gone, drowned in lakes of blood.

Statesmen, deceive the people

many words but nothing is done

false and liars, they don't practice what they preach.

They get rich with no mercy

making the world go to ruins.

Chorus:

Useless is to race for power

if in the end no one remains,

no hopes for the future

if they don't change.
