Year Zero

Can you hear the current shifting

Set against a fading tide

And even now we brace our shadows

Evidence of the darkest side

And while the past delivers on its final prophecy

Humankind on its collision course with a waiting destiny

Now passing onward

Through the thickness of despair

Regret our actions

But we never thought to care

There's no time for pessimism

Useless to place our blame

We've reached beyond our province

And seen it all go up in flames

Caught up in recollections

They cannot serve us now

We've severed all connections

No one left to show us how

Why waste another day in silence

And with the omens in the air

Can we put or deepest fears behind us
