We were told
That we could do anything
Be anything
That the future was there for the taking
That we could rule the world
We climbed to heights we never knew possible
And revelled in our new found glory
We stared down at those beneath us with impunity
And became slaves to greed and power
Our new hunger became sacrament
A mantra for self appointed kings
We will take until there's nothing left of the earth
And when everything good in this world is gone
When we have risen too high above
The sun will show no mercy
We will all burn
Man will not survive

I held up a mirror to the world
And I hated the reflection
Dog eat dog for the day to day
Consumed by our existence
We're all human but we're lacking our humanity
Push each other to the edge
To insanity
We're all capable of empathy
So why do we always choose hatred over charity

Charity

So it's axe to the grindstone
It's oil and the shards
Sharper than a switchblade
I'll fucking tear this world apart
We don't deserve what we have
We're a conscious virus
And so we sell each other misery
Disguised as kindness

Kindness

I swear that no one else sees
The fucking terror in this world that I see

Is there anything left in us
We can't erase all that we've done
There's nothing worth saving
We were made disastrous
Is there anything left for us
We fed our future to the sun
No one is blameless
Judgement comes for all of us

We've run it into the ground
Into the ground
So let's burn it all down
Burn it all down
And I'll stand in the flames
And smile as the world we've built
Is reduced to ashes
We've run it into the ground
Into the ground
So let's burn it all down
Burn it all down
And I'll stand in the flames
And smile as the world we've built
Is reduced to ashes

We will all burn
The world we've built is reduced to ashes
We will all burn
As the world we've built is reduced to ashes
We will all burn
As the world we've built is reduced to ashes

Ashes

Is there anything left in us
In us
We can't erase all that we've done
There's nothing worth saving
We were made disastrous
Is there anything left for us
For us
We fed our future to the sun
To the sun
No one is blameless
Judgement comes for all of us

We've run it into the ground
Into the ground
So let's burn it all down
Burn it all down
And I'll stand in the flames
And smile as the world we've built
Is reduced to ashes
We've run it into the ground
Into the ground
So let's burn it all down
Burn it all down
And I'll stand in the flames
And smile as the world we've built
Is reduced to ashes
