it may come as a surprise
but this has been nothing but disappointment
nothing short of a let down

faulting structures
it was all there
quick to let you know
they already stood for too long

just know that I could raze
all of your buildings too

we awoke from the ashes that gave birth to our world
starting out, we were nothing but particles
which then decided to grow and in time we grew to call ourselves human beings
but now we've outgrown that role and there is nothing human about us at all
we learned to appreciate power, until we craved it

but know this: others will come and take and take what we stole from those that came before us
and this will continue as long as that burning heart of ash keeps beating it will continue
this thievery is what we are and what we’ll always be, until the end of time

we live on borrowed time and still we fight it
just know this, that our demise is truly inevitable
