Hollow Earth - On The Precipice Lyrics
An overpopulated horde of competitorsIn competition for the scarcely limitedResources of the earthStanding armies with weapons in handIn pursuit of imperial wealthUnknowingly we forge our path to cultural collapseWith valor and confidenceWe spread our wings and step off the edgeAnd in the freedom of the airWe claim victoryDespite the warning signs of vital disrepairWe'll defy gravity and remain in flightAnd with godlike impunityWe cast our shadow unflinchinglyUpon our desire to thriveBut after centuries of perpetual dissensionThe end is now in sightCollapsing, as we plummet to our demiseFailing, closing the gap between the dirt and the ashCrumbling, as we deliver our final prayersDescending, upon a bed of nails in a fiery hellFor the cinders are now blazing redBeneath the cauldron of our cultureFor ten thousand yearsThis fire has scorched the earthNo gods or prophets to lift this curseSo now here we areAt the crux in the wake of such lossWe stand on the precipice of human extinctionWe stand on the precipice ofTen thousand years in dissentPropagated by a thirst for power and wealthBreak the chains and relentOr we shall perish by the rite of the damned
