Lyrics

Set a path that has no return

Setting a path without a chance of return, a decisive and irreversible choice.

The end is in sight

The conclusion or outcome is evident or approaching.

You know your reign is over

Acknowledging the end of a ruling or dominant period.

A twist of fate, you couldn't foresee

An unexpected turn of events that couldn't be anticipated.


Take a breath as you step off the edge

Preparing for a significant and possibly perilous step.

You had this coming, now it's time

Confronting the consequences that were deserved, time for accountability.

Right there at the end of a rope

Referring to a location, possibly symbolic, where consequences are met.

The hangman's drawing near

The imminent arrival of a punishment or judgment, represented by the hangman.


Left cities in ruins

Describing widespread destruction and chaos left behind.

The Forests are aflame

Symbolizing environmental devastation with forests in flames.

The Oceans are dead

Highlighting the ecological consequences with dead oceans.

And nothing remains

Emphasizing the total annihilation, where nothing remains.


When human life hangs in the balance

Exploring the precarious state of human existence.

You build a wall with a barbed wire fence

Building barriers and defenses when human lives are at stake.

A calculated holocaust

Describing a deliberate and systematic destruction, akin to a holocaust.

Right before our eyes

An atrocity unfolding visibly, observable by all.

Created a culture of fear

Establishing a culture dominated by fear.

The machine is fed every day

Perpetuating a destructive system, possibly referring to societal mechanisms.

Throw in your pound of flesh

Contributing to a destructive system by offering one's own share.

Fresh hatred every day

Continuing the cycle of animosity and resentment.


And nothing remains

Reiterating the theme of total destruction and emptiness.
