A Look at society today with and old age flavor
What darkness doth wrap itself around thee
What emptiness doth consume thee whole
What vile wickedness doth ravage thee human spirit
Fade to black, thy misty soul

What despair doth fill the bleeding heart
Thine endless tears flow down thy cheeks
Thy fearful pleas doth go unanswered
Fade to black, thy nation weak

Blind ideals doth leave thee conquered
Thy leaders pitiful bags of putrid bile
Thy country doth grope in the darkness
Fade to black, thy peoples guile

Lost and consumed by thy own self importance
Thou cares not for thy fellow man in this embittered age
Thine own fire long dead in thy heart and mind
Fade to black, thy inner rage

Timid and weak thine once great nation
War rages amongst thine own
Faith corrupted in thy inner child
Fade to black, thy family home

Moral decay doth run rampid
The beast outside thy gate
Thy doom ever encroaching
Fade to black, the end of days!
