The planet is doomed and burning
Humanity is a virus
Killing its host
The death of our mother
The erasal of man
No salvation
Left here to die
All alone upon this bleeding earth
Smoke and soot fill the air
Suffocating slowly
We breathe in the poison
Polluted by our own design
A failure, ashamed
Undeserving of life
Ocean of waste
Forests in flames
We cannot take back
What we have lost
Breaking point
It all comes down to this
I'd rather die now than wait
For your apocalypse
These same hands that create
Are the same that destroy
Driven to our own demise
We're left with empty time
Has God forsaken us
Or just forgotten us?
Cry out to an empty sky
Fists clenched, no reply
We did this to ourselves
Created our own hell
Reaping what we sow
Refusing to see that it was all our fault
We've bled the earth dry
There's nothing left to drain
We're beating a dead horse
Breaking point
I've said it once before
I'd rather die now than wait
For your apocalypse
This is the moment of truth
The time for us to decide, live or die.
All knowing, all seeing
Ever lying, always deceiving
Driven to our own demise
We're left with empty time
Has God forsaken us
Or just forgotten us?
Cry out to an empty sky
Fists clenched, no reply
We did this to ourselves
Created our own hell
This type of modern metalcore is usually not my cup of tea. Somehow, Allt knows to hit home with these tracks. The electronic flourishes really are the cherry on the cake. dcdirkzwager
