Carbon Stampede

[Verse 1] Breakneck cities, burning fast Skyscrapers made to never last Silhouettes of smoke and steel Who remembers how to feel? Feed the beast, accelerate Fuel the fire, it’s far too late Crowds like cattle, eyes gone wide Stampede into the great divide [Chorus] It’s a carbon stampede, no brakes, no soul Ash in the air, and profit’s the goal Racing toward the end unseen On a golden road of gasoline Step in line, don’t ask how Just another number now This parade don’t stop to bleed We’re the herd in a carbon stampede [Verse 2] Neon signs scream “more, more, more” While forests rot behind the stores Concrete veins beneath our feet No escape from this repeat Screens like gods, we bow and pray To ads and lies that light our way No one listens, no one leads So we run and run… on burning knees [Breakdown] Go! Go! Go! Faster still! Up the hill Down to kill Go! Go! Go! Don’t ask why Choke the Earth And call it sky [Chorus] It’s a carbon stampede, no brakes, no soul Ash in the air, and profit’s the goal Racing toward the end unseen On a golden road of gasoline Step in line, don’t ask how Just another number now This parade don’t stop to bleed We’re the herd in a carbon stampede [Outro] One by one We disappear Chased the flame And brought it here Still we run Still we feed Our endless, mindless Carbon stampede
