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
