Burning Our Future

We turn the key and watch the exhaust rise

A cold indifference in our modern eyes

Burning the fuel, pretending we are blind

Leaving a barren wilderness behind

You say your single spark can't feed the fire

But every engine climbs the mountain higher

That easy copout is a fatal lie

As we consume the very air and sky

Complacency is drawing near

To a silent world of fear

We burn it all and look away But we will pay,

yes we will pay

No more excuses, no more turning blind eyes

We are the ones who write the end of our skies

No climate criminals, we cannot stand

For every fire we light across this fading land

(we can't look away)

Every cylinder that sparks a flame

Leaves a legacy of silent shame

We missed our window,

decades lost in doubt

Now the final candle is flickering out

No more excuses, no more turning blind eyes

We are the ones who write the end of our skies

No climate criminals, we cannot stand

For every fire we light across this fading land

(it's up to us now!)

We are running out of time (running out of time)

No more burning down the line
