To watch the world burn



and now shall it all be destroyed
shall it had all been for nothing
shall we realize that what we knew
we never really knew
shall we realize
that we could never tell
that is was all an act
that is was a hoax
that it is something we never worked out
shall we realize that all we went through
wasn't because something better was on the way
Shall we watch the world burn
Shall there be an apocalypse
Shall we finally be able to conclude
That yes this is the end
Shall we lose hope as we all die
Shall men create disease
That will make the death as painfull as it can be
Shall we all cry and hope that the gods are watching
As we get consumed by the flames
And get scorched until we are nothing but crisps
shall all of humanity be dead
And cover the earth with their burnt bodies
shall they pile up one on top of the other
and no one be alive to tell the tale .
