Knees deep through the rising waters, we greet our demise Gathering the masses to begin the march We proudly wear our noose as we're walking to the gallows Spared no expense to line our paths with gold Behind the veil of progress, we're bringing hell in disguise Mocking all the fools who sound the alarm We blindly lead our troops and destruction follows Deaf to the truth we cannot deny We cower behind the shield of our mortality, hoping in secret that we won't have to live to see the end, won't have to suffer nor face the judgement That we won't have to admit that we've failed We are the ones who killed the world Gather round, rejoice! We are the ones who killed the world In arrogance we breed destruction, we take what's not ours In dominion's name we wound and scar Ignorance, the vice we wear, will decorate our graves The reckoning's at hand The reckoning is at hand
