Asylum Pyre - Coral's Riff (Now Hell) lyrics

Coral's life Fate of a peaceful organism Someway victim of its altruism Today endangered Most ancient ecosystem on earth Safest place to live or to give birth 25% of known fishes live in the coral reef It is the most diversified ecosystem on earth Million years, it takes to grow bigger (But) A few years to disappear What was paradise's Now Hell! Chorus We must prevent your destruction (I am – the soul – of the ocean) Rainforest of the silent place (I'm aching) Shelter of the Rainbow nation (Suffering – from – your indifference) Essential for any race (I'm dying) Crashed … shattered Crushed ... Ignored Source of knowledge, food and medicine You protect the shores Corals provide medicines used to cure Alzheimer and Parkinson's diseases The Coral reef protects the shores from wave erosion But "must-have" souvenir from paradise Suffocating as mercury rises What was paradise's Now Hell! Chorus Take the time to look at it Part of you is part of it (It's) not a lie, do you know it? Something under the surface Pray for pity, for a grace Wave at you for a caress See all the joy it has brought to them For so many years I want a rest in this Haven Take on board for a trip under zero Come and fly with us, just a step below We keep on living (Paradise) The reef is dying (Hell) Can't you hear the Whales' cry? The reef's heart is running dry Chorus + Stop your crime or I'll change… By My tide: My Revenge! If we repent now Will you forgive us? Our Hell What Was Paradise's Now Hell Piece by piece falling apart (I) hope it's not too late To save coral's fate Damages done - Oil slicks Cracking bones We got to be quick This is not a secret I'm fed up with your lies! Everybody knows – I'm dying! They can buy the future Can they stop the tide? Simple words are sometimes right Simple is not naive Please forget your pride Try to be a little wise… Can you stop the countdown? Put off our crown? If you look out of your towns… Five, four, three, two, one, ZERO!
