Reclamation
Humanity's a failed experiment,
walking the path to extinction,
spinning its wheels endlessly;
grease them with oil and uranium.
Humanity's a failed experiment,
walking the path to extinction.
The earth will shake, and the waters will rise;
the elements reclaim what was taken,
what was taken.
The skyline is set ablaze
with regret;
ashes cover a falling
silhouette;
the city will reap what it's sewn
and ignite,
watching as the city burns
tonight.
Blindly consuming mass manufactured faith,
mankind is a festering parasite.
Blindly consuming mass manufactured faith,
mankind is a festering parasite,
relentlessly draining its host dry,
nailing belief to a cross of genocide.
The elements reclaim what was taken,
what was taken.
The skyline is set ablaze
with regret;
ashes cover a falling
silhouette;
the city will reap what it's sewn
and ignite,
watching as the city burns
tonight.
Only after the last tree's cut
and the last river poisoned,
only after the last fish is caught
will you find that money cannot be eaten.
When everything becomes irrelevant,
once the sky tears open,
fire rains down; fire rains down;
the fourth world comes to an end.
feel the fault lines detach.
Cross hairs in the evening light,
I sit it and watch the city burn tonight.
The city burns tonight, tonight.
The city burns tonight.
The skyline is set ablaze
with regret;
ashes cover a falling
silhouette;
the city will reap what it sews
and ignite,
watching as the city burns
tonight.
