Waves of Death
Beng Beng Cocktail Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fighting for a peace of land
Burning everything because of religion differences
Killing, rapping… oh yes, you’re not part my kin
Hundreds of thousands lives because of one dictator uncatchable
Peaceful riots ending in bloody cemeteries
No more water for Africans
More and more ozone holes over our heads
You think the waves of death will everyday fall next to you
Take care, the death is laughing at you

Sustainable development Vs the elements
We already know the end coz it’s part of the plan
Waves of death are gathering making the biggest tsunami
This will destroy our weaker and weaker humanity
We warned the mass about Global warming only few years ago,
Whereas we have been killing Nature whilst we have forsaken the status-quo
Polluting the air and infecting the biosphere





You think the waves of death will everyday fall next to you
Take care, the death is laughing at you
