Verse 2

We spread like cancer,

now we're looking for answers

as the day fades away

False prophets and saviors,

relieving us from our failures

In the end, it's all on them

Interlude 1

Verse 3

Twisted ideologies, lying and apologies,

like pigs rolling in the dirt

We're living on a sleeper, the pit is getting deeper,

and it's filled with snakes

Verse 4

The only rule, is to rule,

and they ruled them all

It's been quite a show,

to see a world rise and fall

Burning

Verse 6
Dm 
Am 
cities, burning monuments
Dm 
But strange enough
F 
the temples seem to have survived

without a dent
F 
Begs the question
Dm 
Am 
Dm 
did the problem start with them

Verse 7
Dm 
Watch it burn,
G 
Am 
F 
sit with me and watch it burn
Dm 
In the embers, like a wounded worm,
Am 
Dm 
it twists and turns
It's disturbing,
G 
Am 
but I can't seem to look away
F 
It fascinates me how a world is dying,
Dm 
and it won't see another day
