about

A song from the perspective of a rainforest - a buring rainforest. We need to raise awareness of the ongoing destruction of these ecosystems. Because we tend to blend out the big and overwhelming problems. Music can at least help to communicate them.

The uncutted version of the song will be included on the next ZAPIENS EP.

lyrics

I feel the flames rising higher
Burning their way through my lungs
Worship me, watch me dying
And welcome your decline

I see my world getting smaller
With every day you are in here
Where can I run for cover
There is nothing left to hide

What is on your mind that makes you so greedy
Don’t you overlook the fact that I’m breathing
All eyes on you but for the wrong reasons
All the world’s your stage but the theatre is burning down

I feel my body slowly fading
Disappearing into nothingness
Watch from afar, keep complaining
You’ve welcomed your decline

What is on your mind that makes you so greedy
Don’t you overlook the fact that I’m breathing
All eyes on you but for the wrong reasons
All the world’s your stage but the future is burning

What is on your mind that makes you so greedy
Don’t you overlook the fact that I’m breathing
All eyes on you but for the wrong reasons
All the world’s your stage but the theatre is burning down
