"The Tragedy Of Modern Ages" lyrics

"The Tragedy Of Modern Ages"

Silence, the hymn to somber lands
As nuclear winter descends
The wraiths of past nations linger and loom
In the shadows of history's death

An unsustainable standard of affluence
Has decimated the makings of man
And commodity's gaping influence
Has distorted and defiled all the land

Written in a timeless script
The tragedy of modern ages
Cries forth the dismal fate of man
In bloodied, tear-stained pages

Written in a timeless script
The tragedy of modern ages
Cries forth the dismal fate of man
In bloodied, tear-stained pages

Trapped within a fabricated world
Of Gods encased in metal beams
Subsumed and enveloped
In synthetic dreams

Evolution holds a cunning trap
The misfortunes of the human
Are his works, though brilliant they may be
They've led him to his ruin

Written in a timeless script
The tragedy of modern ages
Cries forth the dismal fate of man
In bloodied, tear-stained pages

Written in a timeless script
The tragedy of modern ages
Cries forth the dismal fate of man
In bloodied, tear-stained pages
