Prepare Now, Humanity Will Fall

Lulled into a dire sleep by our ignorance
We're the frogs in a pot beginning to boil
Perceptions dulled by drugs and affluence
Our deceptions manifest, we are pestilence
We would never pay the watchman's toll
Catastrophic hands of the clock chiming
We've ignored every warning sign given
The moment is now, we've perfect timing
We refuse to change how we're living
Dark clouds and dust blot out the sun
While storms pour down lightning
We've watched like shocked witnesses
Judgment day and we're not innocent
Approaching is an imminent doom
We see it, yet remain unaware
Now Armageddon has begun
The time of our species is done
Even as we've known for long
We've managed to remain aloof
Honor is measured as dissonance
If we have no way yet left
To correct all our wrongs
We will never know
