our city lies [bad word] 
and our livelihood is next. 
left to build from decay 
with the whole world 
crashing down around you. 
"how the [bad word] could we let this happen?" 
and no [bad word] to mind. 
we're caught in a steady decline 
and there's no deterrent. 
oh, the aftermath could bring you to your knees. 

guilt is starting to dissolve you from the inside out.
and you're grasping at your last chance for salvation,
and it's on its way. 

this is our own world, 
and its up to us 
to decide our own fate. 
and even though change may be unavoidable, 
it's up to us to emerge from the bottom of the barrel.
as a whole, we can impact mankind for the better. 
and the earlier we realize this, 
the sooner we can reassemble 
our lives. 
now is our chance to rebuild.
