Messages Were Left

The future has not been written
Our painted past is withering away
The sound of death is coming faster
We have become defenseless against ourselves

They've erased all connections to the past
But as hard as they try
They can't erase our dreams, our nightmares
Of those memories that are pushing
The human race to the brink of extinction

Messages were left from mass political violence
Executed by very rational, pragmatic means
Technologies designed for killing
Generic engineering put the power to destroy in the hands of evil

Every generation seems to imagine the world is about to end
But we have reached a critical phase in our life
Fighting to live and willing to die
There is no option but to face your fears

We've altered the conditions of life on Earth
In ways that we never intended
We have to realize we are our own enemy
So we are the ones to blame

Every generation seems to imagine the world is about to end
But we have reached a critical phase in our life
Fighting to live and willing to die
There is no option but to face your fears

The bloodiest century in human history
