The Fading Light

Damned if we didn't fucking heed the words
The wise men told of the coming storm
But pride and greed, the desirable traits
It's like we always wanted to see our fate

Arms race, genocide, plague, famine, all that died
Products of an overbearing need to kill
Our sublety and subterfuge
Saw our methods brought onto the global scale

Cold war's burn then die
Martyr's take their life
Worthless emblems fall away
Reveal the end in sight

Extinction's calling
Send us to an early grave
Toxic fallout
Nuclear shadow cloaks the way

There's no more warnings
As the light begins to fade
The sky turns black
Eternal nightfall ends our days

Evil by design, we have lived our last
Domination proven with the fatal blast
More fuel to the fire, as the smoke flies higher
See the construct fail by the embers glow

Amidst the crawling chaos
Mushroom clouds
Signs of the times
A never failing obedience to the endless possession

We were always meant to cease by our own hand
Nothing could interfere, this was the plan

Burning bright, the obelisk will bathe this world in fire
Eternal beacon of extinction
Endless flaming pyre
