Filthiest Of Sins Lyrics

It was no act of God that killed Jeremy Davidson...

The treatment of this country is a deplorable sight
Leveling mountains sending villagers in flight
Well I'd like to die in peace, but I'll be busy in my grave
Turning for the home of the brave

The negligence of our leaders is a despicable mess
Accepting bribes and kickbacks, hide reality from the press
There were ancient, noble values, but they put them all to rest
As the crooks destroyed what nature made best

Listen people
We will never give in
Because the murder of these mountains is the filthiest of sins

The state of this great nation is a frightening ordeal
Some people of this land have forgotten how to feel
When a criminal corporation decides now to steal
And defile something innocent and real

Listen people
We will never give in
Because the murder of these mountains is the filthiest of sins
We won't rest until this nation is safe from exploitation
Big business, evil interests aren't political decisions
There's a new war that's brewing in the Appalachian region
Gonna bring a little justice to this world

What's the worst about this all is that somehow it's all legal
Turned their backs on the issue and the law men were feeble
They allowed a silly loophole to remain spread-eagle
In the realm of a green-eyed prospector

Listen people
We will never give in
Because the murder of these mountains is the filthiest of sins

People, speak up
So that life can begin
Right now the murder of these mountains is the filthiest of sins

is the filthiest of sins...
