Holocene Extinction
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
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

Salt flats riddle the earth
