In the End, Devastation

Mesozoic era, age of reptiles
 Permian period, mammals live in exile
 All at once there's a fire in the sky
 A wave of pure destruction in a sudden flash of light
 Cretaceous--Tertiary extinction event
 And everything is once more set to rights
 Order is built on unnatural law
 An attempt to keep chaos at bay
 But you only can postpone things from falling apart
 In due time everything goes away
 There's no hope
 No salvation
 In the end, devastation
 Cosmic fate
 A sad equation
 In the end, devastation
 Only
 Ever
 In the end, we die
 Roman empire crumbled into ash and dust
 That considered, what do you think will come of us?
 Time goes on and the cracks are evident
 Putting out the fires, an attempt to circumvent
 Fiscal, social or tectonic collapse
 There is no avoiding the descent
 (pre-chorus)
 There's no hope
 for our nation
 In the end, devastation
 Gradual, the
 Degradation
 In the end, devastation
 Only
 Ever
 Chaos
 Atrophy
 Entropy
 Naturally
 We all die
 We all die
 We all shall die
 There's no hope
 No cessation
 In the end, devastation
 Universal
 Condemnation
 In the end, devastation
 Only
 Ever
 All
 In the end, we die
