Avarice, apathy, virtue dies Wicked hearts, hubris filled, self-destruct Illusions fade, tipping point, social collapse Be afraid, no longer can we fool ourselves Storms of fire ablaze with hate, ignite the skies Our falling empires writhe in fury, scratching violently to hold on Tragic times, a sullen world, overrun Collective malice, wipes away the pure of heart The cracks appear, breaking down, slipping away Crossing over, we've reached the point of no return Our final act before we take our final bow Abolishing our legacy, no mistake of what tomorrow brings Is it truly darkest before the light? Or is darkness all that awaits us Tears for all the life we've taken Regret for all the time we've wasted So much was lost and nothing gained Our sickness will soon be gone forever Slowly fading out of existence Close your eyes and weep no more Slowly dimming, the beat of our hearts Close your eyes and embrace a darkness without end
