Lyrics
The dread of what will come of this
The anticipation and fear of the consequences of current events
With fatal eyes over a sinking world
Observing the impending disaster with a sense of inevitability
Staring through death
Gazing into the face of death
We suffocate in open air
Feeling suffocated despite being in open surroundings
Floods born of malign englect
Floods caused by malicious neglect
Rising as we are still
The rising of these floods while the observers remain passive
Reflections of resentment
Manifestations of anger and bitterness
Of the silent and unflinching beings
Depiction of silent and unyielding entities
Once complicit it is known it is treason
Once complicit actions now recognized as treason
The wretched and spineless souls
Describing miserable and weak individuals
Dragged through misery
Being forcefully dragged through a state of suffering
Into the approaching darkness
Moving towards an impending darkness
A void worthy of them
Describing a void suitable for the wretched
Worthy of the unresigned
Fit for those who have not surrendered
Submit
An imperative command to submit
Chasm of fire encircled conceited hope
A metaphorical fiery chasm surrounding misplaced hope
They succumb not alone
Others facing a similar fate, not succumbing alone
But with us dragged beneath
Shared suffering, being dragged down together
Become the menial become the servile
Becoming subservient and powerless
Become the orphan and the abandoned
Taking on roles of the abandoned and helpless
Become the spectre of the righteous
Transforming into a ghostly figure of the just and moral
The sun will swallow the earth
The sun symbolically consuming the earth
But only after it has
A notion that the earth will perish, preceded by suffering
Choked before it's time
The earth metaphorically choked before its expected end
Long before it's time
Anticipating the demise long before its natural time
