Basking in the light
Of our own accomplishments
We stand with such pride 
With such arrogance
We're so fucking enlightened

And oh how far we've come 
Overlooking the wastelands 
The age of pestilence has ended 
With the death of modern man 
We stand so high above the subsequent rot 
Oblivious to the cause
And we call it progress
With each generation we fall farther from grace
A violent decent into spacious madness 
All of our evil coalescing behind a vile veil of betrayal

Our humility crumbles under the weight of the idea
That we are all important, we're all someone real
A poisonous lie we must struggle to defy
Fight to deny this lecherous path we call life 

It all comes back to this 
A misplaced sense of self
An evolutionary mistake
A true failure to embrace the evidence 

And history repeats (F*ck) 

The truth we seek is soaked in shades of grey
We'll never find 
Forever confined within these absolutes
Victims of our own compulsions 
Beggars, ill-content 
Feeding upon one another 
Cannibalistic 
Revel in these final rays of beautiful beaming light 
Yearning to hold our place in time 
As they cowardly crawl back 
From a burning horizon

The corrosion of our fragile moral systems 
Erosion of all that was once civilized 
Inbreeding genetic weakness 
The false existential crisis 
Every intention maligned
Has come realized 

And all at once
Human kind is swept away with the ash 
As history repeats 
The earth is calling out 
To unleash the serpents beneath the shrine
