Another way to die disturbed lyrics

“About the acknowledgment of global warming. We took a different approach. We’re not trying to be environmentalists, but maybe our choices in life and the ignorance of how we live is leading us to another way to die and affecting the food chain.”

The indulgence of our lives
Has cast a shadow on our world
Our devotion to our appetites betrayed us all

An apocalyptic plight
More destruction will unfold
Mother Earth will show her darker side
And take her toll

It’s just another way to die
There can be no other reason why
You know we should’ve seen it coming
Consequences we cannot deny
Will be revealed in time

Glaciers melt as we pollute the sky
A sign of devastation coming
We don’t need another way to die
Can we repent in time?

The time bomb is ticking
And no one is listening
Our future is fading
Is there any hope we’ll survive?

Still, we ravage the world that we love
And the millions cry out to be saved
Our endless maniacal appetite
Left us with another way to die

It’s just another way to die
Can we repent in time?

Greed and hunger led to our demise
A path I can’t believe we followed
Black agenda’s rooted in a lie
Will we repent in time?

Species fall before our very eyes
A world that they cannot survive in
Left them with another way to die
Are we dead inside?

"Another Way to Die" is a song by American heavy metal band Disturbed, released as the first single from their fifth studio album, Asylum. Airplay for the single began on the morning of June 14, 2010. That same day, a lyric video was posted by the band on their official YouTube channel[1][2] and was released as a digital download on June 15, 2010, via iTunes. On August 31, 2010, an excerpt of the song played in a newly released second trailer for the 2011 Mortal Kombat game.[3]

Lyrical content[edit]

In an interview with The Pulse of Radio, frontman David Draiman explained how the track contains some very timely subject matter:

Obviously it's referring to the global catastrophe that we know as global warming, and the effects that it continues to have on our planet; our irresponsibility in doing what we do as species, our constant appetite, our constant consumption at all costs. No matter what is destroyed, no matter what is laid to waste. And, certainly, what's happening in the Gulf now is horrific.[1]

The B-side "Living After Midnight" (originally by Judas Priest) is also included on the band's B-side compilation, The Lost Children, along with their cover of "Midlife Crisis" by Faith No More, which was originally recorded for the tribute album Covered, A Revolution in Sound.

Music video[edit]

The band shot a music video for the track directed by Robert Schober (also known as Roboshobo)[4] and was released on August 9. It is the first music video since "Land of Confusion" to not feature any of the band members; the video focuses on worldwide events relating with the song, such as pollution and poverty.[5]
