Dying World

A world that was meant to die
Crimson flows as the Nordic gods cry
Only one species is destined to survive
From the will of the dead we thrive
An internal problem no one can fix
Liberty and tyranny  cannot mix(co-exist)

chorus
Looking over the world of ruin
Wastelands of there doing
A dying people everywhere to see
Tyrants look on with glee

Chained down in this prison
Judged & condemned for no reason
A stagnate pollution takes hold
The balance of power fatally folds
The once mighty brought to his knees
A decaying culture the last he sees

chorus

I look to the future with scorn
From the ashes idiot justice is born
From the Earth come screams of misery
The masses sedated by blind apathy
Walking through the cemetery gates
No one knows what finally awaits

chorus(2)

Everything that the queen saw
A  bastardization of natures law
