The world is on standby awaiting for a hero to come save the day
For an end of an era or the beginning of change
Some believe in revolution while some say we're already near the end
But the one thing I'm assured of is death will come by our own hand
Building war machines and then honoring the dead
Is there really a chance for salvation or is this just in our heads
Some believe we will be saved by little green men from outer space
As others kneel before Gods and at the dinner table say grace
While science tries to teach us we're just monkeys that learned to become men
And since the first discovery of fire we've let it consume our compassion
Now we're just religious and atheist primates that stopped throwing our own shit
Instead we created bigger bombs and sell guns to little kids
And don't get involved with prophesies made by ancient civilization
It doesn't take rocket science to predict obvious observation
Death doesn't wear a mask and he doesn't wear a black robe
He is not the harvester of sorrow or the harvester of souls
He doesn't wield a bloody scythe and he doesn't ride a dark horse
He looks just like me and you, could we be so oblivious
Its two minutes until midnight our inevitable doom
But if I could set the clock backwards I would spend more time with you
Aliens and angels, gods and demons rising from hell
The fact is that we're capable of killing and destroying ourselves
Long before tidal waves and meteors wipe away the tears of our hurt
We'll already lay in a shallow grave of un shoveled ashed earth
Millennia's of collecting knowledge is our wisdom arrogance or just ignorant
A world ran by greedy politicians and ruled by dumbfounded dip shits
Maybe we are just monkeys yet to evolve into a more advanced race
But evolution has little chance as long as man has a face
As long as we hold desires the pipers song will always be the same
But who wins the battle when nothing remains
