The Grim Lesson (Evolution Demise)

As I open my eyes
 Oh, give me the heart
 To face the grim truth I can't deny
 The greenlands are now bare
 The spring of life has dried
 The mother holding her dying child
 What has been left behind
 Of towers rising high?
 And while we thought we had
 The brightest of all minds
 What have we done?
 The will to hold the reins
 Born from the wish for life
 A fever, devouring all we had
 Unfit to win the fight
 We were our own demise
 ♪
 But in this madness what have you gained?
 Demolished your home for a jail
 Was this the unavoidable fate
 For power in the hands of apes?
 Oh, in this madness what have you gained?
 The illusionary throne you built
 Fallen, scattered ruins and tears
 Is this mankind?
 Is this the logic beast?
 ♪
 Where is the awareness, the wonder for it all?
 Where is the beauty, the poetry?
 Where is the wisdom you claimed to seek?
 What of all this?
 What did you find past the boundary?
 Was this all enough?
 Will you ever learn?
 But in the aftermath
 Of our darkest night
 There is no light of a new sun
 Beyond the horizon line
 We may build a new path
 Or just evolve to dust
