Dead World

Highways crisscross the land like veins
Economic lifeblood in petroleum chains
This body won't move without money to spare
Until the atmosphere's naught but poisonous air

Mindless decay from a vulgar display
Consumption without a second though
An image lost in time is all that's left to survey
As humanity's sins are left to rot

Evolution laid to rest
Choke on the ash of a dead world
Sickness in every breath

Squander every natural resource to build up the war game
Until the earth erupts into a giant ball of flame
The biosphere collapses to a prehistoric wreck
Humanity's extinction cashed upon a blank check

A scorched earth policy against all of creation
So the vultures probe the rubble to exploit the devastation
Soon enough there will be nothing left to abuse

The suffocating storm with the placating eye
Only the strong will push through and survive

Naked we're born, naked we die

Deceitful tycoons with duplicitous lies
Set it off, shut it down, and let the bullets fly as we

Choke on the ash of a dead world
Evolution laid to rest
Choke on the ash of a dead world
Sickness in every breath

Down on your knees and confess
As all of nature protests
Nothing can save from death
