Hell on earth is here today Swirling sand and dying trees And there is no other way People living on their knees
Atrocity too harsh to bear Barefoot children in the road Meeting the accusing stare Looking up from heavy load
Hell on Earth in the sand Hell on Earth, forsaken land
Glaring sun beating down Burning sand beneath your feet Bleeding dry the little town Withering in hellish heat
Hell on Earth in the sand Hell on Earth, forsaken land Hell on Earth in the sand Hell on Earth, forsaken land
Look away from suffering Pretend it’s just a dream Return to your climate control Ignore the cries and screams Allow the gap twixt rich and poor To blossom, fatten and to grow And soon this hell outside your door Will live within forever more
Desert flowers wilt and fall Hand to mouth and then to grave And the lie above it all Sky of blue, no one saved
Hell on Earth in the sand Hell on Earth, forsaken land
