lyrics

When will it ever be enough?
When nuclear ashes block the stars?
When ocean current finally stops?
Or solar fire takes us all?

The tension will not break
Our push increases strain
and still we tear, kill and maim

Cast in a delusion
of self-important arrogance
Our perception in a void
that cares not for what we think

And the world doesn’t care about you
this whole herd is fucking doomed
When the populace cannot regenerate
this planet becomes a tomb

To think of the billions
who have lived and died in vain
fighting for this world
full of so much hollow pain

I know you feel it too
this spectre haunting you
I’ve seen this vision of the end before

Is this not injustice? Is this not unfair?
Are we supposed to watch our lives fall to ash?

I show an affirming flame
No victory I proclaim
But a mark of the just
Made of Eros and of dust

Negation and despair
ruins the world we share
Our world in stupor lies
We must love one another or die

“and nothing changes if we don’t change ourselves…”

And nothing changes
if we don’t change ourselves
This world is dying
Condemned to living Hell

So stand up
and heed my pleas
Or be a slave and
die on your knees

And I stand and wait
for the final hour to come
But I will not run
I will not fucking run

So we’ll rally round the flag
Till death becomes us all
If that’s all there is
My hope will not fall

Fight for life

Our last chance
Humanity’s sunset
Awaiting us
Oblivion

All that we have
is but this moment
The trial of mankind
goes on
and on

I show an affirming flame
In the hope that things will change

Give not into your fear
Else our world disappears
