Die Krone der Schöpfung

And God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them

And God blessed them and said to them
Be fruitful and multiply

And fill the earth and subdue it

And rules over the fish in the sea
And over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over every living thing that moves on the earth

And God saw everything that he had made and behold, it was good

Man has long since subjugated the earth
With fire, sword and bomb he monitored them
What do we care about the future we confess in prayer
Forgive me for my greed for the planet is mine

We preach love and wage war daily
We do not fight for goals only for our own victory
We no longer say please we just shout I want
Half the world is starving, half the world is silent

Nuclear explosion what does that mean
Concrete fire
We hid the dirt in the oceans
Because what could possibly happen

We don't ask, we take, we live our greed
Because after us comes the flood but first we come

We call ourselves the crown of creation
The Heroes of Evolution
The masterpiece in the universe
Behaves like the Inquisition

We wear the crown of creation
More like a carnival hat
Drunk with megalomania
Does humanity feel noble and good
And absolutely

We have lost our conscience in abundance
And when we are reminded we close our ears
We live without mercy and push ourselves healthy
Giants of waste with insatiable gullets

Creation is so wonderful
From darkness the first light the first day
Sky and Earth Land and Sea

What she wanted happened
A seed a flock of birds
Born out of nothing
But the man he wanted more

You and I became true
Because at some point a path began
Love was called
The one chance for everyone
That we were given

Maybe we still have some time
To understand commonality
And modesty
Are the way to eternity

We call ourselves the crown of creation
The Heroes of Evolution
The masterpiece in the universe
Behaves like the Inquisition

We wear the crown of creation
More like a carnival hat
Drunk with megalomania
Does humanity feel noble and good
And absolutely

We are stealing the future of our children's world
Why live in humility that brings too little money
We sacrifice our forests to the God of reinforced concrete
And everyone builds their own private Babylon
