Song Review: Forsaken... Akibat Keserakahan Umat Manusia

Saya juga sangat menggemari lagu Forsaken dari album The Silent Force:



Forsaken Lyrics:

Now the day has come.
We are forsaken this time.

We lived our lives in our paradise,
As gods we shaped the world around.
No borderlines we'd stay behind,
Though balance is something fragile.

While we thought we were gaining,
We would turn back the tide, it still slips away.
Our time has run out, our future has died,
There's no more escape.

Now the day has come,
We are forsaken,
There's no time anymore.
Life will pass us by,
We are forsaken,
We're the last of our kind.

The sacrifice was much too high,
Our greed just made us all go blind.
We tried to hide what we feared inside.
Today is the end of tomorrow.

As the sea started rising,
The land that we conquered just washed away.
Although we all have tried to turn back the tide,
It was all in vain.

Now the day has come,
We are forsaken,
There's no time anymore.
Life will pass us by,we are forsaken,
Only ruins stay behind.

Now the day has come.
We are forsaken this time.

Now the day has come,
We are forsaken,
There's no time anymore.

Now the day has come.
The day has come.
The day has come.

Dari lirik di atas kita dapat melihat bahwa manusia bersikap seenaknya pada lingkungan dan tidak menghormati Sang Pencipta (We lived our lives in our paradise,As gods we shaped the world around.No borderlines we'd stay behind,Though balance is something fragile)

Manusia sebenarnya sadar bahwa itu tidak baik, tapi mereka terlalu serakah sehingga mereka jadi buta oleh kenyataan yang ada (Our greed just made us all go blind)

Sampai akhirnya manusia menerima ganjarannya (As the sea started rising, The land that we conquered just washed away. Although we all have tried to turn back the tide, It was all in vain)

Dan manusia pun menerima ganjaran yang mengerikan (Now the day has come, We are forsaken, There's no time anymore. Life will pass us by,we are forsaken, Only ruins stay behind)

Pesan dari lagu ini (menurut saya), kita sebagai umat manusia harus menghargai alam, jangan bersikap seenaknya dan merusakkanya, karena pada akhirnya manusia sendiri yang menerima ganjarannya.

Itu review singkat dari saya, thanx
