  • Failed creation…!
    In all his arrogance…
    Revelation…!
    Has prophesied…
    Retribution…!
    A plague of suffering…
    Castigations…!
    Open your fucking eyes…
    Open your fucking eyes…
    Open your fucking eyes…!!

    Seas…
    Wash us away…
    War's being waged…
    Famine strick-en cultures still enslaved…
    Blind to the signs…
    A fate we've contrived…
    Marching head first into this -…

    Grand damnation…!
    Defile holocaust…!
    Casting us as one…
    Into abyss…!
    Submerged beneath…!
    Oceans of self-disgust…
    All forsaken…!
    And burning for their lies…
    And burning for their lies…
    Open your fucking eyes…!!

    Seas…
    Wash us away…
    War's being waged…
    Famine strick-en cultures still enslaved…
    Blind to the signs…
    A fate we've contrived…
    Marching to-ward the -…

    End of time…!
    Are we so blind to the signs…!?
    Suffer the fate we`ve contrived…!

    Descending…
    Hollow shells…
    Precipitation…
    Of shrapnel…
    Falling from the sky…! (The sky…!)
    Chemical gassing the terrified masses…
    Engulfing the world in denial…!
    In denial…!!

    Absolution…!
    Cleansing their wicked minds…
    Extradition…!
    For sins comprised…
    Penitence has man…!
    Kneeling before his cross…
    Ask yourself where -…
    Where does this judgment lie…?
    Where does this judgment lie…?
    Open your fucking eyes…!!

    Seas…
    Wash us away…
    War's being waged…
    Famine strick-en cultures still enslaved…
    Blind to the signs…
    A fate we've contrived…
    Marching to-ward the -…

    End of time…!
    Are we so blind to the signs…!?
    Suffer this fate we've contrived…! (This time, their lies…!!)
    Rendering our senses so blind…! (So blind, so blind…!!)
    Suffer this fate we've contrived…! Writer/s: Dino A.M. Cazares, Timothy Ying Wai Yeung, Tommy Cummings
