Burn the Earth

Burn the Earth is a song by Dethklok.

History
"Burn the Earth" was the first song recorded with Dethklok's new water analog format, with the master track being composed of water. However, the original master was lost when Dethklok, intoxicated, used the water for various things, such as drinking the tracks, watering the plants with the drum tracks, replacing the water in the fish tank with the bass tracks, and making Ramen noodles with Skwisgaar's solo. The song was later rerecorded and put onto the Dethalbum II.

Music video
The music video for "Burn the Earth" was briefly seen in "Dethvengeance", and the full video is used for live performances. The band members are shown in a format similar to the music video of "Briefcase Full of Guts", in which they appear as shadows (but their mouths and eyes can be seen), and are in a tight formation. Various places are seen going from alive and fine to dead and decaying due to a green gas that appears. This is based on the water analog format, which is highly toxic, using nuclear waste to record the tracks on water.

Lyrics
''Putrid beast Mutant with a bloody fist Puking acid in the night

You're diseased Medical experiments Took away your human life For a fee

Just a student with no money Grabbed a flyer Paid the price

Sharp injection Brain inspection Pulsing anger Mutant rancor

Splattered blood Doctor laying on the floor Larynx bleeding in your hand

Bloody teeth First of many you'll be killing Make your way into the street

Finally The gasoline and dynamite Will light the sky for the night

Sharp injection Brain inspection Pulsing anger Mutant rancor

There's nothing to save You're my slave Burn the Earth For minimum wage

Burn Burn Burn Burn Burn Burn

Pour the gas Light the match Burn

Pour the gas Light the match Burn

Pour the gas Light the match Burn

Pour the gas Light the match Burn

Pour the gas Light the match Burn

Pour the gas Light the match Burn

Pour the gas Light the match Burn!

Pour the gas Light the match Burn!

Death filled streets Killed with tusks Once held life Now lie husks

Burn! Burn! Burn! Burn

Burn it away, get fucking paid (Burn it away, get fucking paid) Incinerate organic hate (Incinerate organic hate) Dump all the waste, poison this place (Dump all the waste, poison this place) Burn it away, get fucking paid (Burn it away, get fucking paid) Now

Sharp injection Brain inspection Pulsing anger Mutant rancor

There's nothing to save You're my slave Burn the Earth For minimum wage

There's nothing to save You're my slave Burn the Earth''

For minimum wage
