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
