we are in the middle of the days they call the end of times
finger on the button flashing red to kill a billion lives
some would say that it's too late to look around and realize
extinction is upon us and yet we don't even hear the cries

advertise, consume, consume, until there's nothing left alive
rape and pillage mother earth then burn her down and cast aside
one for me, and all for me, don't interfere just stand aside
close your eyes, it's not your job, just try to breathe the burning sky

when buildings fall and nations weep and oceans die how will we sleep?
the end is nigh, the tigers cry, as eagles circle destiny
as the dust of man, corrupt, does gather like a rising storm
the empty echo of the past is all we have to keep us warm
