Answer me this
What do you say
When the world you once knew is rotting away?
The future is grim, and the past is still here
It's yelling at you when you look in the mirror
You can die on this hill, but really, what for?
We're rats in a maze
Nothing's in store
Body's too weak to drag through the muck
May as well say it
We're pretty much f*cked
Nero did play as the empire burned
So I'll play when it's tumbling down
There's hope in the ashes
For good things to come next time around
Your TV compels you to buy till you bleed
With cash you don't have for things you don't need
Armies of drones obey the commands of wolves wearing suits
According to plan
You chase the illusions, but that's what you crave
The land of the free
But the land is depraved
Minds are diseased
The world is insane
Sodom is back
It's Gomorrah again
Nero did play as the empire burned
So I'll play when it's tumbling down
There's hope in the ashes
For good things to come next time around
From destruction comes need for rebuilding
In darkness there's love for the light
When these rotten foundations come crumbling
The fire will lead us tonight
