Testament’s Greenhouse Effect

Since it’s Earth Day I figured I would post the classic Testament video from their Practice What You Preach album. The Greenhouse Effect has some great lyrics as you can read below the video. The lyrics not only express the problems with global warming effects but the effects that the Slash and Burn tactics of the companies and developers tearing down the rain forests have on the natives of the lands to include the plants and animals that inhabited the rain forests.

Testament – The Greenhouse Effect

Fools the ones who stray, the rain forest burns away
Know what to believe, this is the air we breathe
So the world we know is dying slow in South America
Flames are burning down, all the trees to the ground
Time is running low, we can’t stay no more
Wealth these people see, fight for eternity
Lies they televise paid by their government
There on! It’s lingers on
And they don’t even care in they…
Seal the Planet’s fate
Crimes they perpetrate
Wasting precious land
It’s time to take a stand
Our only hope to breathe again
To stop the madness closing in
What will we do when all is lost?
Environmental holocaust… repeat
Foes, these people go, someone destroyed their home
Plagued with disease, left praying on their knees
Laws protect the land, social justice in demand
Smoke it fills the air into the atmosphere
Now it’s time to see a cycle of a tragedy
On! It lingers on, and they don’t even care if they
Seal the Planet’s fate
Crimes they perpetrate
Wasting precious land
It’s time to take a stand
Our only hope to breathe again
To stop the madness closing in
What will we do when all is lost?
Environmental holocaust…
