The Great Collapse
I watched a man die in the cold. He slept in the street. We left him there with nothing to eat I watched a man burn in the coals. Shoveling shit into a furnace, trading a check for his soul The city is a fucking prison. Force fed failure, eat what you're given The ivory tower, the higher power, I swear their laughing as we claw at the scraps We were the lions now we bow to the hydra, cause when you cut off the head, fucking two grow back See them at their worst. Another day goes by, everything I love dies in the passenger side of the hearse Lower the bar. It's pathetic to think. I knew their souls would sink, but I never knew how far Repetition is only failure. Repetition is only failure. Repetition is only failure. Repetition is only failure. The cycle repeats A march towards defeat The wretched accept it, a bleak tomorrow The fathers of greed sow the seeds for sons of sorrow I watched a man die in the cold He slept in the street We left him there with nothing to eat I watched a man burn in the coals Shoveling shit into a furnace, trading a check for his soul The city is a fucking prison Force fed failure, eat what you're given The ivory tower, the higher power, I swear they're laughing as we claw at the scraps We were lions now we bow to the hydra, cause when you cut off the head fucking two grow back I watched a man die in the cold I watch a man burn in the coals

When the world is empty of souls, it will become so clean Silent death Assimilation Hammers of seven hells fall from above Settle the final debt, forced adaptation Void of regret, absent of love Subdue the lands until they bow at the broken will of man Inescapable fate The earth will swallow all that it can, until it finally reclaims the hell we create When the world is empty of souls, it will become so clean Terraform Annihilation, the human curse Worthless warnings, terror swarming Self preservation, ancient rebirth Endless mourning, terraforming Silent death Hammers of seven hells from above

Feed the fire Until it expires Callous enemies, abandon sanity Villains of vanity, design a life so clearly unstable Dead remnants left adrift Red rivers fill the rift Poisonous pools emit an atmosphere just barely not fatal Seven billion leeches Squirming towards extinction Tremendous fucking casualties of the human condition All your material things mean nothing when bulbs burn out All your material dreams mean nothing when the bulbs burn out All the oil and blood will seep back into the mud when the bulbs burn out Will you see you've done as it comes undone when the bulbs burn out Feed the fire Until it expires

Old ashes from repeated mistakes Hell in a shadow that I can't escape It's too late, it's too late Dreams of love, dreams of sex, dreams of joy, dreams of peace Lie in sickbeds with sweat stained sheets You only regress, no matter how long you rest You get what you fucking get It's too late Another man falls down Serenity, the condition we lack When you finally accept your surroundings, you can cut through the fat To the meat of the soul One grand old hole Stiff, blue, and cold And now I know it's too late A sinners dance of endless posturing Who the fuck are you when no one's watching? Inescapable Undeniable Uncontrollable Dreams of love, dreams of sex, dreams of joy, dreams of peace Lie in sickbeds with sweat stained sheets You only regress, no matter how long you rest You get what you fucking get It's too late Another man falls down Irreversible Inescapable Undeniable Uncontrollable

Leave the room It was empty before and it is empty still Cross bearer Lost prayer Lord give me nothing, I've already lost my will To begin or end, never again The nature of a broken soul is to beg, but the burden of pity is greater than the calm Resounding stronger than relief, I welcome the harm The clashing conscience of a coward Low hanging spirit, soul devoured I never wanted to live in a world that would kill me I never wanted a father who wouldn't forgive me Please leave the room It was empty before and it is empty still Inver wanted to live a world that would kill me I never wanted a father who wouldn't forgive me The man with two hats Identified by one, embellished and black The man with two hats Distressed and divine Fragile and white Where do you hang them? How do you tell them apart when you tear them apart? Leave the room It was empty before and it is empty still Burning in hellfire, numb to the touch I'm left to fix this fractured actor on my own Artificial man Sacrificial lamb Love to dust I've given up I never wanted to live in a world that would kill me I never wanted a father wouldn't forgive me.

Embrace true emptiness Embrace true emptiness Behind the eyes the beast in man is never far Dormant until we accept what we are No saints No grace There is no relief From the mountains of grief Intricately, assembled stone by stone The art of deception In theory and practice Smothers any compassion We could hope to salvage There is no progress When forward motions just a test of another man's lust for greed The will to resist Disappears in the midst Staining the sky in eternal misery Intertwined in end times, wondrous webs of deceit we weave Behind the eyes, the beast in man is never far Only dormant until we accept what we are Don't save me There's nowhere to stay That doesn't bear the scars of yesterday Don't save me There's nowhere to stay That doesn't bear the scars of yesterday Embrace true emptiness Embrace true emptiness Behind the eyes the beast in man is never far Dormant until we accept what we are No saints No grace The last lights, drift deep down into the spiral Where shame and denial are forever and final The last lights, drift deep down into the spiral Where shame and denial are forever and final Don't save me. Nomad on an orphan earth There's nowhere to stay That doesn't bear the scars of yesterday Don't save me. Nomad on an orphan earth There's nowhere to stay That doesn't bear the scars of yesterday Don't save me Don't save me
