lyrics

No gods no relinquishment to come to these fragile minds
With a look to the sky for answers
What do you see in the clouds?
Nothing but shapes and empty promises
A hope long gone, for a better life

What do you see in this?
What do you see in this?
My mind drifts away at night expecting to find a solution
A short term reprieve from the planet we continue to choke

Consciousness slowly fading
Internalizing anguish for a dying world

The calamity of dreams came falling down across the surface.
Against all odds we fucking survived.
But what was the final cost of our ignorance?
To continue to exist.

No new dreams will be born
A fragile state of being
Brought on by self inflicted
Greed
Designed to annihilate
When all we have left is hope
It gets ripped out from beneath our feet
A life of decisions that lead to nothing
A terror that lives as a part of us
Will continue to control us all
A universe of possibilities broken by unbending will
By unbending will
The catastrophic event that lead us
To our knees
An extinction event to end all life

As the sun grows dim
The sky turns black
Up from the earth
Eruptions of ash
The oceans turn to wastes
Salt flats riddle the earth
As the night falls
Day never comes

The old gods watch and laugh
As vermin scream for their lives
A planet scale suicide
A reluctance to accept our fate
That we brought on ourselves
There’s no turning back

Entropy encapsulates our thoughts
And belief systems that we held onto
For longer than we should
It’s no wonder we never could
See the world for what it truly is
A wasteland, awaiting a fitting end

An energy exists beyond our understanding
Watching over us in a perpetual torrent
But never a god, nor a savior
An unknown entity

No choices are determined by destiny
A string pulled from above a monarchy
A nightmare to behold such a being
Breathing only between our various stages of life
So how has it come to this
How has it come to this?
When we let it all
Go

We fucked up our only chance
At prosperity
We fucked up our only chance
At a decent life
Our children will scream
Burn and freeze to death
Because of what we left
Unchanged, bereft of intellect

Our eyes have been pulled from our ruptured skulls
Held to the blood soaked walls of eternity

A sun born from the abyss
I am death
I am without form
I am nothingness
