A New Extinction

I can’t save the ones I love Or even save myself Here comes a new extinction I can’t save the ones I love Or even save myself Here comes a new extinction Whichever way I look, there’s only chaos The sun is black raining with fire The ground is shaking and bursting with lava I cannot recognize the land that was mine This is the death of the world We’re going deaf with our children’s screaming These are the final throes We had been warned, payment for hubris has come I can’t save the ones I love Or even save myself Here comes a new extinction I can’t save the ones I love Or even save myself Here comes a new extinction There, the wave, it’s coming for us Pray, you did, but to the wrong gods There, the wave, it’s coming for us There, the wave, it’s gonna wipe the slate I saw an eagle fall from the sky Followed by legions of other birds Struck as they scrambled for shelter, Slain as they flew away Crazed and dazed humans and beasts I can’t separate Panick is making them monsters Blinded by fear Crawling in terror and clawing for air Here’s the wave I can’t save the ones I love Or even save myself Here comes a new extinction I can’t save the ones I love Or even save myself Here comes a new extinction
