Pacific Grim

Lyrics for Pacific Grim

A nuclear accident Vomits into the ocean An island of garbage Forged by the discarded The constant trawling Modifying habitats What the fuck are we doing? Biodiversity- now monoculture of deceased inhabitants The nets don't discriminate - unforgiving in this throwaway living As the coves exsanguinate the bodies, now gluttonous commodities Purging more than they need - for the unwitting public and corporate greed Paralyzed in fear, until all pods are eradicated... They never stood a chance Against this sick romance We have with every living being We have with every fucking thing Long lining baited hooks, pelagic thievery, gluttonous crooks Discarded secondary bycatch rendered useless, thrown overboard Bottom trawling thus reveals the destroyed habitats - wiped off the map The life support of the ecosystems is pulled leaving only victims Living in misery - the ways of fisheries One of life's mysteries - soon we'll all be history Nobody's listening - classic conditioning This is the christening - extinction quickening We never stood a chance Against this sick romance We have with our demise We have with all of life With mouths open wide Our footprint steps inside And when there's nowhere to hide Death comes with the tide... Was wir für uns selbst tun Stirbt mit uns Was wir für andere tun Bleibt und ist unsterblich Death comes with the tide Death comes with the tide Death comes with the tide Death comes with the tide
