When The Bulbs Burn Out

(album: The Great Collapse - 2017)

"Every week we're seeing new and undeniable climate events. Evidence that accelerated climate change is here right now. Droughts are intensifying. Our oceans are acidifying. Methane levels rising up in the ocean floor. We are seeing extreme weather events. And the west Antarctic and Greenland ice shifts melting at unprecedented rate. Decades ahead of scientific projections. None of this is rhetoric, and none of it is hysteria. It is fact. And solving this crisis is not a question of politics. It is a question of our own survival."

Feed the fire
Until it expires
Feed the fire
Until it expires

Callous enemies, abandon sanity
Villains of vanity, design a life so clearly unstable
Dead remnants left adrift. Red rivers fill the rift
Poisonous pools emit an atmosphere just barely not fatal

Seven billion leeches
Squirming towards extinction
Tremendous fucking casualties
Of the human condition

Seven billion leeches
Squirming towards extinction
Tremendous fucking casualties
Of the human condition

All your material things mean nothing when the bulbs burn out
All your material dreams mean nothing when the bulbs burn out
All the oil and blood will seep back into the mud when the bulbs burn out
Will you see what you've done as it comes undone when the bulbs burn out

Feed the fire
Until it expires
Feed the fire
Until it expires
