Virus
For centuries, we have awaited
This final act anticipated
Our backs to the stage for the grand finale
All faces blank while she's
Trembling, she weeps in the spotlight
Of our making, tears we choose not to see
Reckoning, the scene of our crimes
Hastening, from years of denying
Tragedy, from the years of denying
Like a disease we've always welcomed the end
Choose to see
Through self deceit
If only the world was enough
But it could
Never be
Ruinous, we build only to destroy
Sacred, a concept so alien
Pestilent, all life is our exploit
To be bled, until rendered useless
Until the wells have dried
And forests impaled
With power lines
Upon the earth oceans rise
The end of our tale
Will come in time
Choose to see
Through self deceit
If only the world was enough
But it could
Never be
Until the wells have dried
And forests impaled
With power lines
Upon the earth oceans rise
The end of our tale
Will come in time
Will come in time
This final act anticipated
Our backs to the stage for the grand finale
All faces blank while she's
Trembling, she weeps in the spotlight
Of our making, tears we choose not to see
Reckoning, the scene of our crimes
Hastening, from years of denying
Tragedy, from the years of denying
Like a disease we've always welcomed the end
Choose to see
Through self deceit
If only the world was enough
But it could
Never be
Ruinous, we build only to destroy
Sacred, a concept so alien
Pestilent, all life is our exploit
To be bled, until rendered useless
Until the wells have dried
And forests impaled
With power lines
Upon the earth oceans rise
The end of our tale
Will come in time
Choose to see
Through self deceit
If only the world was enough
But it could
Never be
Until the wells have dried
And forests impaled
With power lines
Upon the earth oceans rise
The end of our tale
Will come in time
Will come in time
