Dying Day
Facing Extinction: Embracing the Dying Day
Lyrics
Panic grips a planet bereft of compassion
Panic dominates a world lacking compassion
Clutching at straws as we speed t’ward the end
Desperation sets in as we rapidly approach the end
Undone by our ennui, we face the reaction
Overwhelmed by our boredom, we confront the consequences
No longer can we deceive or pretend
We can no longer hide our true selves or pretend
Locked in a death spiral
Trapped in a fatal decline
To our captors, we are bound
We are obligated to our captors
Extinction gone viral
Extinction spreads uncontrollably
The house of cards we inhabit comes crashing down
The fragile structure of our existence collapses
Lies so easily believed
Untruths easily accepted
By those who wish to be deceived
By those who prefer to live in delusion
Life and death bought and sold, now the last act unfolds
Life and death are commodities, leading to the final act
This is our dying day
This is the day of our demise
We can no longer look away
We can no longer ignore the harsh reality
We face our dying day
We confront the inevitable end
Dying days fade to dead nights
Dying days transition into lifeless nights
To perish in isolation
To perish in loneliness
The end at last in sight
The end is finally within sight
Mocking your pleas for salvation
Mocking pleas for salvation
A civilization, whose death goes unmourned
A society whose demise goes unnoticed
Our hopes and dreams better off dead, stillborn
Aspirations and dreams are better off never realized
A cold dawn bringing no warmth, no light
A cold dawn brings no comfort or illumination
The darkest day marks the end of mankind
The darkest day signifies the end of humanity
Lies so easily believed
Falsehoods readily accepted
By those who wish to be deceived
By those who desire to live in falsehood
Life and death bought and sold, now the last act unfolds
Life and death traded for profit, leading to the final act
This is our dying day
This is the day of our demise
We can no longer look away
We can no longer turn a blind eye
We face our dying day
We confront the inevitable end
