Civilizations rise; they decay; they die
As societies become increasingly complex
They become inevitably more precarious

They become increasingly vulnerable and as they begin to break down
There is a strange retreat by a terrified and confused population from reality
This is the consequence of the idiocy of our elite
The inability to confront simple truths about human nature
And the natural world leaves them unable to express new models or approaches
They, at the end, speak in phrases and jargon that don't correlate with reality
They retreat into their isolated compounds, indulging in unchecked hedonism
The accumulation of vaster wealth and extravagant consumption
They are deaf to the suffering of the masses
Who are repressed with greater and greater ferocity
They become, at the end, extremists or ultra-conservatives
Squeezing the last drops of profit from nature and humanity

We're cursed to repeat the cycle of collapse and, the greater the extent
The less they are able to understand what's happening around them
The earth is littered with the remains of human idiocy
We are condemned to drive our selves towards extinction
Although this moment appears to be the fanale of the whole wretched show

Yeah, 5,000 years in the making
Now there's nothing left on this planet
We are spending down the last of everything we value
This time, when we go down, it will be global
There are no undiscovered lands left to pillage - no new peoples to exploit
It's a death trap, the whole thing
This is how all civilizations, including our own, ossify and die
They turn us into peasants and the world into a wasteland
Nothing to these people is sacred; we are exploited until exhaustion or collapse

The desperate developed a belief system and erected gods
With the common understanding that these gods 
Would come to life and save them all from disaster
It's the natural response tot he loss of control, despair, and powerlessness
This retreat into magic leads them, in their last moments
To a total detachment from reality
A reality that becomes too bleak to be absorbed
We think we've somehow escaped from the shortcomings of our past
We're so certain we're wiser and greater than those who came before us

We're willing to cater to fantasy and self-delusion, and, by the very end of it all
We're joyfully led over the cliff by lunatics
They look only for way to perpetuate this dying system
