The water you drink has been poisoned, The air you breath is corrupt, The cities we nest in will crumble, The end is near and abrupt. Let your feet carry you to a much safer place, Far from the idols we built, Cherish the life you've been given, but wallow forever in guilt We tainted the fruits of her garden and burned all the gifts she had grown, From her ashes we built up our kingdom, and in her sanctum we knelt to our throne And now it is her time for calling, And now it is our turn to run, The cities we built are all falling, The end of mankind has begun.

We are the End
The water you drink has been poisoned, The air you breath is corrupt, The cities we nest in will crumble, The end is near and abrupt. Let your feet carry you to a much safer place, Far from the idols we built, Cherish the life you've been given, but wallow forever in guilt We tainted the fruits of her garden and burned all the gifts she had grown, From her ashes we built up our kingdom, and in her sanctum we knelt to our throne And now it is her time for calling, And now it is our turn to run, The cities we built are all falling, The end of mankind has begun.
