Chasm of Fire

The dread
 Of what will come of this
 With fatal eyes
 Over a sinking world
 Staring through death
 We suffocate in open air
 Floods born of malign neglect
 Rising as we are still
 Reflections of resentment
 ♪
 Of the silent and unflinching beings
 Once complicit
 It is known
 It is treason
 The wretched and spineless souls
 ♪
 Dragged through misery
 Into the approaching darkness
 A void worthy of them
 Worthy of the unresigned
 Submit
 Chasm of fire encircled conceited hope
 They succumb not alone
 But with us dragged beneath
 Become the menial
 Become the servile
 Become the orphan and the abandoned
 Become the spectre of the righteous
 The sun will swallow the earth
 But only after it has choked before its time
 Long before its time
