Fight to the End

You want it
You got it
You flaunt it
But you'll never know what you have
You pander
You twist
You hide
Every word a toxic, saccharine lie
You bite, you chew, you feed
On the suffering of others
You waste, you drain, you blew it
Until we're nothing but skeletal scaffolds
Watch the world go by
It's the last thing you'll see before you die
Small and afraid behind it all
Nothing much behind that carapace wall
You left us with a waking nightmare
A marionette of your conditioning
Aspirations vanished into thin air
No greater defeat, nor ignominy

Human instrumentality
Our world is ending
Lilith spreads her wings
Unified in a primordial pool
In an ecstasy of destruction
Fuelled by fury
The human archetype
Limitless rage
A finite sphere
A futile gesture
Fate's fool
Cut on the rocks of her displeasure

I just want to watch
Your world burn
Watch it all burn down
This time your turn
Your coronation
With an incandescent crown
Forbidden knowledge
Never acknowledged
Harnessing electric flame
Forged from inferno
Arise from ashes
This planet we will reclaim
