Extinction - the Oppenheimer Effect

In the time of the dead
Destroying them which destroy the earth
I am become death, the destroyer of worlds
Since the fall of man the unregenerate quest
Men have sought their own utopia to build their way to heaven
What they begun to do has not changed
to set their nest in the stars without God
Making of a dystopia of many for a haven of a few
To be like the most high closer with all technological witchery
A wretched sorcery mincing and mingling in things
They do not understand their sins will reach unto the heaven
As they try to breed death out not seeing in trans-humanism
They lost what is human through eugenics
Their fears are true they have already lost their humanity
The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds
The pessimist fears it is true
As they compromise for a lie to reject the truth
They deceive and extinguish themselves
Though the Prophecy was written for them to believe
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation
He that believeth not the Son shall not see life;
But the wrath of God abideth on him
