Smoke rising, refineries churning,
Society built of steel,
Collapse is certain, and only time will tell,
Crops die, churches burn,
Rampant decay, all around, (all that’s left)

This human idea, a thing that can not last,
The human plan, it will always fail,
This human idea, a thing that can not last,
This human race, destined to die
Your prophecies of grandeur, your words of hope,
Fall on deaf ears, all lies to one, (lies to all)

Metal replaces flesh, (flesh), silicone absorbs the mind,
All life is lost, machines have won
This human idea, a thing that can not last,
The human plan, it will always fail,
This human idea, a thing that can not last,
This human race, destined to die
Sulphur fills the air, arsenic lines the soul,
The world decays, (decays), and all is gone

This human idea, a thing that can not last,
The human plan, it will always fail,
This human idea, a thing that can not last,
This human race, destined to die
This human idea, a thing that can not last,
The human plan, it will always fail,
This human idea, a thing that can not last,
This human race, destined to die
