Fools the ones who stray, the rain forest burns away
Know what to believe, this is the air we breathe
So the world we know is dying slow in South America
Flames are burning down, all the trees to the ground
Time is running low, we can't stay no more
Wealth these people see, fight for eternity
Lies they televise paid by their government
There on! It's lingers on
And they don't even care in they...
Seal the Planet's fate
Crimes they perpetrate
Wasting precious land
It's time to take a stand
Our only hope to breathe again
To stop the madness closing in
What will we do when all is lost?
Environmental holocaust... repeat
Foes, these people go, someone destroyed their home
Plagued with disease, left praying on their knees
Laws protect the land, social justice in demand
Smoke it fills the air into the atmosphere
Now it's time to see a cycle of a tragedy
On! It lingers on, and they don't even care if they
Seal the Planet's fate
Crimes they perpetrate
Wasting precious land
It's time to take a stand
Our only hope to breathe again
To stop the madness closing in
What will we do when all is lost?
Environmental holocaust...
Included in Testament's most sociopolitically orientated album, Greenhouse Effect expresses a strong accuse and concern about, not only the destruction of rainforests and the consequent enhancement of global warming caused by “development” and by greed, but also about social issues they create concerning the destruction of natives' lands and traditional societies.

Very helpful info, thank you for your article.
This cannot have effect in fact, that is what I believe.
I fully agree with anything you've printed here.
