Breaking Point

Black plagues, line a fading sky
A dying world stripped to the bone
Intoxicated by the madness
Blood weeps from open wounds.

And still the fires rage
Consumed, now chaos reigns
Our pride dissolved
The rise and fall
The breaking point
Burned and crossed.

Lost
Now immune to all the carnage
We turn upon ourselves.

Within these times of desperation
We are the virus that has infected
To its last.

Nothing is sacred
Nothing shall be saved
No one shall be spared the horror
That has yet to come.

Destroy and discard
This is all that we know.

Blackened flesh, blistered
Hangs from skeletal frames
Stalking this arid wasteland
Our minds immune to change.

The shreds of morality
Fall by the wayside
As we are left to ponder
These black box revelations.

In these days to come
In this
Our final hour
We will witness the true depths to which
Humanity can sink.

Humanity can sink.

We will learn
To suffer
We will learn
To fail
And before long
We will beg for the end.

And still the fires rage
Consumed, now chaos reigns
Our pride dissolved
The rise and fall
The breaking point
Burned and crossed.
