lyrics

Behold destruction,
verdant forests lie in ash
toxic seas choked with waste.
earth becomes a charnel house.
and yet we know not what we’ve done.

Here is the collapse
the flashover of the human spark.
Slow violence reaches critical mass.
Denouement of this tragedy.
For are we not the
authors of our despair,
architects of these gallows,
weavers of our own noose,
masterminds of this our doom?

Mesmerized
by powers we can conjure but cannot command,
we’ve strived like gods
to banish fear, want, pain, and death,
yet this illusion veils the danger
of the force that we have birthed,
creating a coruscating deadly new beauty.

“A candle in the dark” - yes, our luminous vision
has dispelled the
horrors of the primeval night,
yet this radiance is no tame light,
its a fire beyond our control,
making of this world an inferno.

All our gifts are laced with this curse:
our reach far exceeds our grasp.
As we strain towards the heavens,
we stumble into hell,
a hell of our own making.

This is our hell.
