Wipe away that smile
l'd love to see your agony
'Keep lying to yourself
Sugar-coated reality
Self-proclaimed Samaritan
Mocking all your peers
The truth's too hard for you to handle
Speaking to deaf ears
A well-deserved retaliation
Years and years of being misled
Never show them a sign of weakness
Flinch and you are dead
Flinch and you are dead.

The world is in flames
A global gasp through the filth and the dust
Smoke and unease, nothing remains
Humanity will suffer
The Burning and the Sting
Aggravations ascend
All reasoning consumed by the flames
Heading towards a smoldering end
The universal panic
The Burning and the Sting
The civil collapse
Spreading like a plague
Facing the chaos
We fear the end
Flames
We see flames
Time is short
Burning at both ends
Covered in burns
We’re out of hope
Flames
We are in flames
The infernal demise
A passing smothered by ashes and coal
We have seen life through distorted eyes
Blazing in the darkness
The Burning and the Sting

Sycophants

Up and comer
Climbing the ladder
Well connected
About to make a big splash
Never resting
Each day a hustle
So much ass to kiss
To further my career
Sycophant
I know just what to say and when
The way you want to hear it
I'm a sycophant
Could it really be
Deep inside you're disgusted by me
What I want I'll get
In ever which weasly way
I've friends in high places
See you on your way down
Years of riding dick is starting to pay off
I don't even have to hide it
Soon I'll have real power
Sycophant
I know just what to say and when
The way you want to hear it
I'm a sycophant
Could it really be
Deep inside you're disgusted by me

Nonlinear choices
A civilizational collapse
Inevitable
Irreversible damage
Everything falls apart
And parasites feed and grow
Complete extinction
And we're responsible
Social disintegration
Abandonment
We lost it all
And parasites feed and grow
Thriving in the downfall
We saw generations decay
As we waited for the buildings to collapse
No possibilities of regeneration
Prone to collapse like a house of cards
No development or transformation
A self-induced progress trap
And parasites feed and grow
We are the final hosts
A decaying society taking form
Reverted to a primitive state
Just to completely disappear
We lost it all
We lost it all
We lost it all and we became the parasites
We lost it all and we became the parasites

Grim Prospects

Armies of the recently deceased
Corpses rise
Dead are walking
Radiation coming from beyond the atmosphere
Brought back mad
Ravenous
Hate for the living
Consume the flesh of everyone who breathes
Prospects of the living looking grim
Shuffling husks
With intent to kill
Spew forth from morgues and tombs
Their ranks seem endless
Hunted humans
Using makeshift weaponry
Destroy the brain!
The only way to stop them
Cities burning
Stiffs amassing
Fear increasing
How long before the barricades implode
