Sol

The oceans will rise
And the forests will set aflame
And the coasts will all erode
And we won't mind that much at first
And the droughts will starve us
And the heat will burn us
And the disease will thin us out
And one by one we'll disappear
The death of man by his own hand
The bodies will rot
And the air will choke us
And the storms will sharpen
And we won't mind that much at first
And the seasons will fade away
And the rain will never end
And the sky will turn black
And all at once we'll disappear
The death of man by his own hand

Falling
It's falling down
The sun hurled aflame towards the earth
As it was falling down, I could hear it say
Did you really think there were any gods...
Other than Death and I?
Falling
It's falling down
A godless world
With senseless greed
A smell of smog in the air
Purpose fabricated
It's never enough
Death gave a chilled gaze and placed his frigid hand
Slowly on my shoulder, and he said to me
Did you really think there were any gods...
Other than Sol and I?

A Prayer for Light
05:28

(lyrics taken from "Darkness" by Lord Byron)
I had a dream
The bright sun was extinguished
And the stars wandered in the eternal space
The icy earth swung blind and blackening
In the moonless air
Morn came and went
And men forgot their passions in the dread
Of this their desolation
All hearts were chilled into a selfish prayer for light
A fearful hope was all the world contained
Forests were set on fire hour by hour
They fell and faded
The crackling trunks extinguished with a crash
And all was black
And war did glut himself again
A meal was bought with blood
Gorging himself in gloom
The world was void
Seasonless, herbless, treeless, manless, lifeless

Mirth of the Divine
03:08

I want answers to the unknown
Empires rise and fall
Is there something to gain, a reason ordained
We must know
Is God laughing the whole time
Mankind meets his end
Will we ever be saved or ever be damned
We must know
Tomorrow
I need answers to the unknown
Empires rise and fall
And there's nothing to gain, no reason ordained
We don't know
God is laughing the whole time
Mankind meets his end
And we'll never be saved we'll never be damned
We don't know

So Grossly Incandescent

Hear me now
We have a chance
The end is near
And we have a chance
Or we'll burn
We'll burn
Regret, regret
There is no hope for all is lost
Return, return
The sacred order of the earth
Hear me now?
We had our chance
The end is here
And we had our chance
And we'll burn
We'll burn
Regret, regret
There is no hope for all is lost
Return, return
The sacred order of the earth
