Time's Cruel Curtain

Lies that we've inherited generation to generation
 ♪
 That one can do anything, that all human life is gilded in gold
 Time doesn't care for your feelings
 Time doesn't know how to hate
 Time draws the conclusion,
 And the path to your fate
 No future for those that destroy
 No rainbow for those that conserve
 Life is a sentence, time naturally burns
 Hell on earth that our species deserves
 Breed before the fires start
 Bleed out into the dark
 This need for validation
 This greedy life's ambition
 ♪
 An element of species narcissism
 A grandiose idea of self-worth
 In a vessel of organic matter
 In a league with its own feces
 ♪
 We know that we're wrong
 We know what we've done
 Yet we still carry on
 The curtain has closed
 As only time knows
 'Cause that's how it goes
 Bed of fire or decompose
 ♪
 We know that we're wrong
 We know what we've done
 Yet we still carry on
 The curtain has burned
 No lessons are learned
 Our ashes in the urn
 This meeting is adjourned
 ♪
 O into nothing
 "What are you now that I once was?
 What I am now, you will soon be"
