lyrics

When the final war happened there was no blood or guns,
Just bad air creeping into people's lungs
It was the sky, and sea, an elemental plea.
That finally saw an end to you and me
Was a foregone conclusion
Tearing down the illusion
That we would see eternity
The machines didn't fight, just sat idly by
and enacted our duties while the people all die

This is the absolute truth of someday.
Deep inside of your mind you know we've got no say.
Because no matter how bad anything can get
There's always some folks not seeing it yet.

It's the end of mankind, not the end of the world
We are leaving these relics for the next men to unfurl
When they study to find a reason behind
the untimely demise of what we called mankind

they'll think

This was the absolute truth of someday
Disharmony always was there to show them the way.
No matter how bad anything could get,
Some folks just were not seeing quite yet

That they were all at the mercy of an aristocracy
That would fly at the sun and look away blindly
Throw away you and me
In the name of Democracy
and its Capitalistic tendency
To put a value on natural forces,
And wasting away this world's finite resources
Until there is nothing left but a husk
Of the giant blue marble that once housed the man and mollusk
