As the World Burns
Sacrifice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The world in danger, no one will realize
We go forward to termination, endless compromise
Pyromania
With no concern
The sun destroys
As the world burns
Disintegration of the ozon layer,
All wars will be forgotten
When the sun will scorch the earth
The effects on humanity will not allow rebirth
Skin cancer lake a plague
Too late to turn back
The green world once ours
Has now turned black
All wars will be forgotten
With global warming trends
The flooding of the coasts
Bring us close to an end
The earth becoming deserts
No second chance
We will become exposed
And watch the world turn to black
Extermination of our planet's fertility
The world has changed, finally realized
Forward to termination, no more compromise
Sacrifice's song, "As the World Burns" is a powerful and thought-provoking protest against the way humans are endangering our planet. The lyrics are a warning about the consequences of our actions and portray how our collective blindness to the impending danger will lead to our ultimate destruction. The song commences by pointing out severe climate changes occurring on the earth, such as the disintegration of the ozone layer and exposure to lethal sunburns. Humans are engaging in wars and other activities that pose a severe threat to the world, and the song predicts a time when the sun destroys the planet.
The chorus echoes the inevitability of our fate as humankind with, "Pyromania / With no concern / The sun destroys / As the world burns." The greenhouse gas effect and deforestation are creating environmental imbalances so severe that the song references how, "The green world once ours / Has now turned black." The song is a dire warning that time is running out for humankind to act and save the planet. Otherwise, we will be exposed, and as the world burns, there will be no coming back from the devastation caused.

Guys you are not going to believe this. I listened to this album when I was 14 years old. I'm from Ecuador. There was a little metal albums shop in my neighborhood the guy over there recommended me Soldiers of Misfortune. I was listening to this amazing music over and over and over and my mum was super religious and take away my album six month after I bought it. Now I'm 40. Thanks to spotify I could listened to this album again. Thank you for making my head spin when I needed the most.

Thats the beauty of metal... When I go back to same of the albums I used to listen to on a regular basis back in the 80s, I can feel that same rush of energy, that same channelled aggression, like a release of accumulated stress that only a good metal/thrash/hardcore tune can tap into.
