Story behind the song
i wrote this after watching Robert Kennedy giving a speech about the coal industry and what they are doing to to our world
Lyrics
30 PIECES OF SILVER
(DYING EARTH)
The fires of hell burn too gentle.
Eternitys not long enough
To pay for what you’ve done to my children
For the poison that’s runnin in my blood.
Everything I do, everything I’m thinking
Everywhere I go, everything I see
Reminds me of the lie’in and deceivin
And of the evil that you’ve done to me.
You took my heart, you took my rivers
You took my land, you took my sky’s
You took my hope, you took my future
You took my breath, you took my life.
money can’t buy your salvation
gold can’t redeem what you’ve done
You’ve turned our world into a graveyard
greed is your excuse for what you’ve done
And now the sun hides in the heavens
Even the rocks feel the pain of your sins
The angels in heaven will be rejoicing
When your father satan welcomes you into his den
