Lost Cause

When the time has come
And we stand at the threshold
Watching an earth at its edge
It’s the tipping point
For the world as we know it
From here, there can be no return
A short-lived era
Inevitably ends
Accept what cannot be undone
Because there’s no way to alter
Basic human nature
It was always a lost cause
Face this lost cause
A spiral beyond control
Face this lost cause
Witness society’s fall
The greatest parasite
Nature has ever seen
Running amok upon the earth
Evolutionary abomination
Arrive, consume and move on
Still we fail to heed
Any wake-up call
Devoured by our own naiveté
Far yet to realize what
Lies in plain sight
We brought this upon ourselves
Face this lost cause
A spiral beyond control
Face this lost cause
Witness society’s fall
Read the lines of history
Or just refuse to learn
Now pay the price of ignorance
And watch this sanctuary burn
Read the lines of history
Or just refuse to learn
Now pay the price of ignorance
And watch this sanctuary burn
Watch this sanctuary burn!
Face this lost cause
A spiral beyond control
Face this lost cause
Witness humanity’s fall
