Burning The Sun Lyrics - Royal Hunt

Empires were built through the centuries drones 

On somebody's flesh and on somebody's bones 

Creating our needs while dumping what's left 

Now nature's dying, it's choking to death 

Tell me for how long 

We're burning the sun, we'll tear down the mountain 

And drink out the river 'til river'll run dry 

We'll shoot at the stars, or torture the ocean 

'Til Earth will stop breathing and wind wouldn't fly 

We've buried ourselves by building a tower 

To climb up to heaven, we're falling to hell 

We're burning the sun, we'll tear down this mountain 

And drink out the river until the river runs dry 

As we're gaining strength, the world's getting week 

We're blowing away the remains as we speak 

Another decade, we're pushing some more 

Destroying the walls while we're closing the door 

When the forest turns to desert, when the river turns to mud, 

When the air becomes a treasure, who allowed to tear it all apart?
