lyrics

fire of knowledge
harnessing prometheus’s gift
dreams of progress
but intentions of progression turn to war

fire burns rampant
a deadly gift in the hands of fools
dominating impulse
Myopic minds beget their own demise

marked by radiation burns
death raiders stalk the sands
cancerous goiters, extra limbs
forsaken children of the second sun

men feed upon men
and scavenge what they can from the carcass of the old world
fallout contorts them
twisted into form by the final war

the deluge of fire the second sun scoured the earth
the end of an epoch the grip of a nuclear winter
mutated anthropoids pick at the bones of the past
the wolves of the red forest feed on the corpse of mankind

end of the anthropocene
humanity begins to wane
cities sunken in the sand
nothing beside remains

entombed in their bunkers
clinging to the world powered by the black fuel
blinded by hubris
encased in slag as the wasteland burns

the deluge of fire the second sun scoured the earth
the end of an epoch the grip of a nuclear winter
mutated anthropoids pick at the bones of the past
the wolves of the red forest feed on the corpse of mankind

All of human history
lost to the oblivion of time
echoless eternity
no trace left behind

fire of knowledge
prometheus returns to earth again
fire burns rampant
the cycle of extinction starts anew
