Backburner

We're choking for air Our planet is dying You're destroying our homes Our time is running out You couldn't care less Welcome to the wasteland - Backburner You're running away While the ones you left behind never had a chance to survive Charred ground and blackened skies Welcome to country - Backburner The oceans rise The forests burn The earth shakes It's screaming out for blood You can't try to put us on the Backburner This was not something that we could foresee What will it take for you to wake up? Get up! Lands flourished for thousands of years They were torn apart when they were taken from us Deny it all you want We will light the torch from under you I can feel it in my bones And I know that you can feel it too The coming storm and the raging fires I can see the fear in you eyes Trust me I'll take solace in watching you suffer You can't try to put us on the Backburner This was not something that we could foresee What will it take for you to wake up? Get up! We will light the flame You can run away Our fires will give life to this land once again
