Fracked Lyrics

Cracking the earth down to the depths below
Burrowing deeper to where vapors flow
We descend into the unknown

Laying waste to the forests and plains
Now a wasteland is all that remains
Raping mother earth for a profitable gain

Unearthing the crypts, a foul stench spews forth from the deep
The plates start to shift, as open sores from the earth start to weep

Carcinogenic chemicals injected
While metal monoliths are quickly erected
A growing populace becoming more and more dejected

Flowing rivers of life now bring only death
Mephitic pools seep and infect
We continue to destroy at nature’s behest

Smashing through the hardest of stones, thousands of feet below
Dire consequences soon to be shown, unearthing effluvium from long ago
Water so contaminated that it can burst into flames
Poisoning the populace with vaporized remains
