Lyrics to Death Atlas
Atlas, the deed is done
Mankind has come and gone
Carbon-based life forms reset to day one
Fire now rages on
We thought we had enough time
To redesign through human minds
To do our time for this life of crime
Seems this is the end of the line
We casketed hope in bureaucracy, sunk to the bottom of the sea
Out of sight, out of mind, out of love for money
We deserve everything that's coming
We'll take this world to our graves
There's no fear for tomorrow
When there's no trust for today
There's no ever after
Debts have to be paid
We deserve everything that's coming
We took this world to our graves
We made its creatures our slaves
Shattered the hourglass
An unerasable past
Humans, demons deranged and depraved
We deserve everything that's coming
We deserve everything that's coming
We deserve everything that's coming
We took this world to our graves
We deserve everything that's coming
We deserve everything that's coming
We deserve everything that's coming
We took this world to our graves
Alas, the deed is done
Mankind now dead and gone
Post-Anthropocene, Earth reset to day one
Fire now rages on
There's no fear for tomorrow
When there's no trust for today
There's no ever after
Debts have to be paid
We deserve everything that's coming
We took this world to our graves
We made its creatures our slaves
Shattered the hourglass
An unerasable past
Humans, demons deranged and depraved
And I count the days 'til we expire our ways
And I count the days 'til we expire for always
To be alive is to survive everything
To make do with anything, until we die
To be alive is to squander everything
To stumble towards anything, to feel alive
Mankind has come and gone
Carbon-based life forms reset to day one
Fire now rages on
We thought we had enough time
To redesign through human minds
To do our time for this life of crime
Seems this is the end of the line
We casketed hope in bureaucracy, sunk to the bottom of the sea
Out of sight, out of mind, out of love for money
We deserve everything that's coming
We'll take this world to our graves
There's no fear for tomorrow
When there's no trust for today
There's no ever after
Debts have to be paid
We deserve everything that's coming
We took this world to our graves
We made its creatures our slaves
Shattered the hourglass
An unerasable past
Humans, demons deranged and depraved
We deserve everything that's coming
We deserve everything that's coming
We deserve everything that's coming
We took this world to our graves
We deserve everything that's coming
We deserve everything that's coming
We deserve everything that's coming
We took this world to our graves
Alas, the deed is done
Mankind now dead and gone
Post-Anthropocene, Earth reset to day one
Fire now rages on
There's no fear for tomorrow
When there's no trust for today
There's no ever after
Debts have to be paid
We deserve everything that's coming
We took this world to our graves
We made its creatures our slaves
Shattered the hourglass
An unerasable past
Humans, demons deranged and depraved
And I count the days 'til we expire our ways
And I count the days 'til we expire for always
To be alive is to survive everything
To make do with anything, until we die
To be alive is to squander everything
To stumble towards anything, to feel alive
