In the End, Devastation -

Mesozoic era, age of reptiles

Permian period, mammals live in exile

All at once there’s a fire in the sky

A wave of pure destruction in a sudden flash of light

Cretaceous--Tertiary extinction event

And everything is once more set to rights

Order is built on unnatural law

An attempt to keep chaos at bay

But you only can postpone things from falling apart

In due time everything goes away

There’s no hope

No salvation

In the end, devastation

Cosmic fate

A sad equation

In the end, devastation

Only

Ever

In the end, we die

Roman empire crumbled into ash and dust

That considered, what do you think will come of us?

Time goes on and the cracks are evident

Putting out the fires, an attempt to circumvent

Fiscal, social or tectonic collapse

There is no avoiding the descent

(pre-chorus)

There’s no hope

For our nation

In the end, devastation

Gradual, the

Degradation

In the end, devastation

Only

Ever

Chaos

Atrophy

Entropy

Naturally

We all die

We all die

We all shall die

There’s no hope

No cessation

In the end, devastation

Universal

Condemnation

In the end, devastation

Only

Ever

All

In the end, we die
