Fires of Civilization Burn

I can't breathe with the fire's smoke so thick
My tears fall, as I watch the world turned ruin
I can't think, my thoughts broken from hate
Why should our world pay for humanity's sin
Humanity has value, as if animals playing violin
Every species of earth will become extinct
Devastation, desolation spoken and fluent
My flesh will soon enter absolute decay
Emptied from the rot and malice within
Distinct, unique yet little more than skin
We have nothing to lose, but everything
Ignore politics, morality, the environment
None can deliver you from fate's end
Nothing we can do will ever save you
We are the dead who walk, no hope to renew
We have a world that can't help changing
We are the children, arrogant, violent
No hope for Heaven, nothing transcendent
We've become our own gods, our own truth
Don't try to fight the flood, enter the deluge
The bleeding once begun will never stop
We've invited Oblivion
We slaughtered every savior sent
Never heard the warnings
Never heeded them
There is nothing left
Earth will be forever emptied of life
This firestorm, a tragedy, an act of hatred
There is no need to take another breath
A catastrophic fire burns, it consumes
This is the drama's final act
Winds sweep across the planet
Leaving an ash blanket
Of doom
