lyrics

(The Rout of Humanity)

The springs grow silent, the world grows quiet
And men, done carving the world apart
Now see the light as the fires grow dark
And frantically try to light a spark
Too late, the kings and the bourgeoisie,
The rich, the captains of industry
Now grasp the truth and begin to see
The future cost of their luxury

The millions crushed under poverty
Are first to suffer expiry
A painful death from a cruel disease
Or slums pulled under the rising seas
But nature suffers no fool to live
And soon the doom willl consume the rich
The blood of classes mixed in the streets
Environmental apocalypse

The blood congeals, the world moves on
From temporary oblivion
The Earth scabs over with fields and trees
Reclaiming cities with leaves of green
And man, now humbled must start again
Reduced to living Mousterian
No memories of the forgotten age
A footnote lost on a burning page
