Now all we feared

has turned into reality

Faceless strangers

they are marching on our home

Just close your eyes

and pretend it is not happening

The men in power

destroy all with hearts of stone

Let me retreat

to planes beyond existence

Let me be free

from the pressures of resistance

Why dare to dream

when we’re pushed down relentlessly?

This frightening silence

has replaced all the beasts

For we’re too small

oppressed by our futility

We’re burning to

fulfil your relentless greed

Do you remember that adage of old

Per Aspera ad Astra?

But what if there’s no stars

waiting for us

Surrounded by ruins

We scream silently in the void

In the face of overwhelming force

The shock and awe of it all

Suffocated by this numbing remorse

The apathy of our fall

I dare not guess

the depths of your moral bankruptcy

Is it too late

to reverse what we have done?

I dare not speak

the name of this depravity

Is there a chance

we could save us after all?

It’s getting late

and there is much to do

Face your fate,

you need to see this through

In the face of overwhelming force

The shock and awe of it all

Suffocated by this numbing remorse

The apathy of our fall

It’s getting late

and there is much to do

Face your fate,

you need to see this through

It’s getting late

and there is much to do

Face your fate,

you need to see this through
