Title:
"Bhopal"

Verse 1
So seemingly peaceful
Untroubled and green
The City of Lakes
Comes across so serene

But time is not always
The cure for all,
So don't turn your back
On the pain of Bhopal!

Chorus
You can argue with me
On what's wrong and what's right,
But you aren't the one
Who will breathe cyanide

You can say what you want,
But the question remains:
When do your "human errors"
Become inhumane?

Verse 2
Can you see all the lives
That are broken and torn?
Can you sense the mutation
In children unborn?

You will have better days
And the ones that are worse
But for them self-awareness
Is always a curse

Chorus
You can argue with me
On what's wrong and what's right,
But you aren't the one
Who will breathe cyanide

You can say what you want,
But the question remains:
When do your "human errors"
Become inhumane?

Verse 3
Every corner you cut
Every penny you save
Will result in a life
Lost within a mass grave

All the money that vanished
In bottomless pit
Could not help those who suffer
Because of your greed

Chorus
You can argue with me
On what's wrong and what's right,
But you aren't the one
Who will breathe cyanide

You can say what you want,
But the question remains:
When do your "human errors"
Become inhumane?

Verse 4
And for those who ignore this
Pretending so well
On this land you instilled
The dimensions of hell

So I wish you imagine
Yourself in that world,
So you finally help
All the people you hurt

Chorus
You can argue with me
On what's wrong and what's right,
But you aren't the one
Who will breathe cyanide

You can say what you want,
But the question remains:
When do your "human errors"
Become inhumane?
