Another Way To Die

I've been wanting to do a blog about something like this, but Laney beat me to it a while back. D:

Recently, Disturbed came out with a new album called Asylum. On this album is a song called Another Way To Die, which reminds me a lot of the video we watched in English. I highly suggest you watch the music video for this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwELajFteTo&feature=channel
This music video has clips of today's world and the dramatic world of tomorrow. Obviously, the dramatic "world of tomorrow" won't happen within a lifetime like it does in the video, but it could happen one day, and that's something we need to be concerned about. Even those who don't care about the Earth and say it's a later generation's problem would (or at least should) be affected by either of these videos. To me, it was really a wake-up call. I'd known that we were destroying the planet and that not many people recycled as much as they should, but the amount of destruction done is mind blowing. Even those who do recycle aren't able to help as much as they'd like. In today's plastic world, there is barely a thing made that doesn't have plastic, and most all of those objects are just tossed into the trash, which then goes to a landfill, to sit there, collecting. Truly, the only way to help is to cut back on plastic, to change our way of life, but how many are truly willing to do that?


Another Way To Die

The indulgence of our lives
has cast a shadow on our world
Our devotion to our appetites
betrayed us all

An apocalyptic plight
More destruction will unfold
Mother Earth will show her darker side
and take her toll

It's just another way to die

There can be no other reason why
You know we should of seen it coming
Consequences we cannot deny will be
revealed in time
Glaciers melt as we pollute the sky
A sign of devastation coming
We don't need another way to die
Can we repent in time?

The time bomb is ticking
and no one is listening
Our future is fading
Is there any hope we'll survive?

Still, we ravage the world that we love
And the millions cry out to be saved
Our endless maniacal appetite
Left us with another way to die

It's just another way to die
Can we repent in time?

Greed and hunger led to our demise
A path I can't believe we followed
Black agenda's rooted in a lie
Will we repent in time?

Species fall before our very eyes
A world that they cannot survive in
left them with another way to die
Are we dead inside?

The time bomb is ticking
and no one is listening
Our future is fading
Is there any hope we'll survive?

Still, we ravage the world that we love
And the millions cry out to be saved
Our endless maniacal appetite
Left us with another way to die

It's just another way to die

Still, we ravage the world we love
And the millions cry out to be saved
Our endless maniacal appetite
Left us with another way to die

It's just another way to die
Can we repent in time?

It's just another way to die
Can we repent in time?
