Verse 1:
We tried running a changing system
While the world was spinning in the wrong direction
Everyone around is breathing fire and brimstone
With the world already going up in flames
Up in flames
Chorus:
See the once so arrogant pray for mercy
The once so careless care for once
Your apprehension's obsolete
The overdue goodbye so bittersweet
Verse 2:
I never claimed to be a saint
But at least I didn't doom any unborn to die
Awaiting the apocalypse I am on my own
Withering family tree I'm all alone
Chorus:
See the once so arrogant pray for mercy
The once so careless care for once
Your apprehension's obsolete
The overdue goodbye so bittersweet
Her Highness will not miss you when you're gone
She's suffered your exploiting for too long
Verse 3:
Time's not on our side but extinction is
Acceptance and ignorance both are bliss
Chorus:
See the once so ignorant beg for forgiveness
The once so fearless fear for once
Your trepidation's useless now
It is too late to disavow
Another dance around the graves of our fathers
Another shovelful of earth out the graves of our sons
This is the generation sealing the fate
It is time to deteriorate
Lead: Schafberger
Chorus:
See the once so arrogant pray for mercy
The once so careless care for once
Your apprehension's obsolete
The overdue goodbye so bittersweet
Another dance around the graves of our fathers
Another shovelful of earth out the graves of our sons
This is the generation sealing the fate
It is time to deteriorate
Deteriorate
