THE GREAT DYING Lyrics

If we bare a weakness that'll one day burn us down
It’ll be the pride they’ll say we couldn’t live without
We saw entitled, unfulfilled generations pay no mind
To the fatal obvious
Still it went down like that every time

We tried to run things our own way
Robbed ourselves blind, increasing the take
Defended life while we stood in its way
Till contradiction proved too much

When the future passers by, recoil at what they find
Will sovereignty explain the way we turned on our own kind?
Sift through the reckoning, a heart-breaking endless data stream of how
We fought for lies
Took the wrong side every time

We tried to run things our own way
Robbed ourselves blind increasing the take
Defended life while we stood in its way
Till contradiction proved too much

Will the tale our wreckage tells, reveal how hard we tried to resist
Throwing up our hands indifferent
Toward our end
To undertows of waste we've sown
Each must own
The story of our victory or flight
As we're shackled to the weight of reckless right
But on we'll fight for who controls our ever dimming light
