The Armageddon Theories - Phase 3 - Departure

For centuries we've ruled this bleeding earth, dethronement is about to occur

Collapse of mankind all knew it would come, yet still the race is shocked at the confrontation

Years of progress reduced to nothing, the price is high for our demise

No one will remain to remember, we take it all with us to our graves

So much work left unfinished, nothing will be left behind

No one will remain to remember, as history demands our death

Guilty or not your final day has dawned, ready or not suffer the apocalypse

End of the world as we - the dying - know it, ready or not departure is at hand

Departure occurs, vanishment of all our knowledge

Departure occurs, all our efforts turned to dust

And when our bodies return the energy to earth

Something new will take our place, a new reality will rise

Departure occurs, vanishment of all our knowledge

Departure occurs, all our efforts turned to dust

[Individual:]

"Mortified I confront the end, all I ever hoped for has met its end too soon

My days were numbered, but this is wrong

All my dreams, all my hopes cast into nothingness

Cast in stone that's what I thought, now I sense imminent demise of our race

And as I die nothing will remain, nothing is what I'll leave behind"

Departure, ready or not departure is at hand

Departure, ready or not departure is at hand

Million by million human species expires

Energy of the bodies return to earth, preparing for the world's re-birth

Million by million we're wiped off the face of the earth

A temporary hell on earth, disasters overflow

As nature rebels against us all, a chaos self-inflicted

Finally, the earth begins to heal, when no flesh has been spared

The powers of creation prepare for the world's re-birth

[Whisper:]

A temporary hell on earth, disasters overflow

As nature rebels against us all, a chaos self-inflicted
