Twisting the rope around the neck, tighter

Snapping the mental spine, shattered integrity

Entwining the spirit within, strangled from the inside

Left with an eternity of absence, understood and despised

The shell of my being portrays this nothingness

Permanently etched painfully regardless

So close to the beginning yet already confirmed

Rendered useless all that I have learned

Like a black could cast upon us

This is what we’ve done to ourselves

Poisoning our minds with visions

Of a perfect world to live in

When we reach the end of our time

Only very few will survive

Dimensions of our past suspended

Forever conceived by the chosen

Provoking the end, cleansing day arrives

Propagating death, so we can survive

Regressing to the ways, of the ancient days

Kingdoms shall arise, splendor never seen before

Once it's all complete, the world will be pure

All the filth and hatred, we have found the cure

Technology has survived, for the benefit of mankind

Extinction will be decided by the cosmos

Beyond the burning horizon
