If the sun vaporized one day

And the moon just faded away

Would we still, keep going on

At this pit of the mining pace.

Should the birds fall to the ground

And the fish die of thirst

Would we still keep on living

The way it's always been.

Now if the air could burn my lungs

And the earth were only rocks

Would it make us stop and realize

That we rot, that we can't go on like this.

Devil, oh, devil.

Why don't you tell me why

I'm a slave in these desperate times.

In this time that we could almost choose

The color of our children's eyes.

Can we still, keep going on living

When the monster turns on us

Before the sun doesn't rise one day, huh

And the moon just dies away.

There is one thing (what?)

One thing what, uh

That we'll never change 

Is that we're only learning to survive.

Devil, oh, devil.

Why don't you tell me why

I'm a slave in these desperate times.

If the sun vaporized one day

Like this. 

Devil, oh, devil.
