Perishing Mankind
the bullets are ripping through the crowd
the revolution is falling into parts
the starving are buried by the sand
forgotten and never before seen
have you seen newborn dying on their first day of live
have you seen children starving in a faraway land
have you seen young men crying on their first day of war
have you seen the old one dying in a silent room alone
have you seen widows crying waiting for their fallen men
they were only men who wanted to be
only want to be just like we are
they were only men who wanted to be
in a perishing mankind
have you seen atomic waste buried under mountains
have you seen forests burning feeding humans greed
have you seen dead fishes floating in a poisoned sea
have you seen peoples killing fighting for their religion
have you seen heroes dying in a quiet blaze of glory
La humanidad perecedera
las balas están destrozando a la multitud
la revolución se está desmoronando en pedazos
los hambrientos son enterrados por la arena
olvidados y nunca antes vistos
¿has visto a recién nacidos morir en su primer día de vida
has visto a niños muriendo de hambre en una tierra lejana
has visto a jóvenes hombres llorando en su primer día de guerra
has visto a los ancianos muriendo en una habitación silenciosa y solos
has visto a viudas llorando esperando a sus hombres caídos
ellos eran solo hombres que querían ser
solo querían ser como nosotros
ellos eran solo hombres que querían ser
en una humanidad perecedera
¿has visto desechos atómicos enterrados bajo montañas
has visto bosques ardiendo alimentando la codicia humana
has visto peces muertos flotando en un mar envenenado
has visto a personas matándose luchando por su religión
has visto héroes muriendo en un silencioso resplandor de gloria
