Humanity's a failed experiment 
Walking the path to extinction 
Spinning it's wheels endlessly 
Grease them with oil and uranium 
The earth will shake 
and the waters will rise 
The elements reclaim what was taken 

The skyline is set ablaze with regret 
Ashes cover a falling silhouette 
The city will reap what it's sewn and ignite 
Watching as the city burns tonight 

Blindly consuming mass manufactured faith 
Mankind is a festering parasite 
Relentlessly draining it's host dry 
Nailing belief to a cross of genocide 
The elements reclaim what was taken 

The skyline is set ablaze with regret 
Ashes cover a falling silhouette 
The city will reap what it's sewn and ignite 
Watching as the city burns tonight 

Only after the last tree's cut 
And the last river poisoned 
Only after the last fish is caught 
Will you find that money cannot be eaten 

And everything [bad word] irrelevant 
As the sky tears open 
Fire rains down, 
the fourth [bad word] to an end 
Push the button light the match 
feel the fault lines detach 
Crosshairs in the evening light 
I sit and watch the city burn tonight 

The city burns tonight
