Alghazanth

The Parody's Zenith

Alghazanth


All the way from Eden to Armageddon 
Such long the journey, not a single step taken 
Infested the planet like malignant tumors 
Still being the lowest of all terrestial lifeforms 

Welcome to the grand downward vortex 
Drowning in nightmares, fear is what we breathe 
A flickering flame of a candle is our existence 
Fading out, evermore insignificant 

In comparison with the living 
The dead seem rather fortunate 

We have engraved our own epitaph 
The last paragraph in the chronicles of man 
A scythe-bearing sun smiles at the tragedy 
Sheding a light of irony upon the failures of humanity 

Technology marches on 
As does the death of intelligence 
Towards a brand new Golgatha 
Where only one cross awaits us all 

Mankind... Cast aside... Deprived of life 
Tormented with the nails of extinction 
The last swing of the hammer concludes the parody 
Of a race poisoned by triviality 

And still some dare to ask: Will dawn follow this darkness?
