The Grand Collapse of Humanity Lyrics


Sacrifice your gods for they are all but idols

A crutch for your life and the false hope you hold

When all of the world has failed you

Every prayer to your god will have been in vain

As life leaves your body and death consumes you

And the blood dries in your veins

Through the darkening skies

A flash of blinding light

The portal opens and they descend

Upon a world in chaos, just waiting to burn

A world in ruin, human infighting

Torn by religion and books of hate

Is this world really worth saving?

Or is extinction the only certainty?

We built our war machines,

We built our weapons of mass destruction

Our soldiers waged a war and died by the thousands

We should have listened; we should have let them be

The human mind is born with a clean slate

Through the books of religion we are taught to hate

World leaders divided and ruled us

So when they came we were in disarray

Like lambs heading to the slaughter

They came from a place in the sky

Through the passage of time and space

They came from a place in the sky

With a force to annihilate

When will you wake up?

This truth you cannot see

When will you find out

That God is in the machine

They came from a place in the sky through the passage of time and space

They came from a place in the sky with the force to annihilate

When we found then we should have left them alone

We were the ones, breeding the hate

When the firing stops and silence takes over

The war of the worlds has come to an end

A field of corpses, a ground painted red.

No heroes return, everyone is dead.

When the darkness does come, there is no light to save

When the darkness does come, no heaven, just a grave
