Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Face your annihilation

Face your existential reckoning

Obsession, crawling out of our own skin

Our appetite is limitless

Disillusioned, we overstate our significance

In the ashes of our negligence

Defending our consumption

Underneath a deadened sky

All hail to our selfish pride

What a legacy to leave behind

Can you face what we've become?

Waiting on the tide to rise while we live on borrowed time

There's nowhere left to run

Waiting on the smoke to rise, close your eyes

Welcome to paradise

...

Grave digging, pull down your window shades

If you don't look, then it won't decay

Indifference, we're dancing on our own graves

We all go out the way we came

Powerless to stop

What we became

Blot out the sun

The ground gives way

One more mistake

'Til we suffocate

No one here is safe

Powerless to stop

What we became

Blot out the sun

The ground gives way

One more mistake

You should be afraid

The reaper is coming

He will be paid

Hasten our demise

Nailed to a vice

Marching in our own fucking disgusting cesspool paradise

Can you face what we've become?

Waiting on the tide to rise while we live on borrowed time

There's nowhere left to run

Waiting on the smoke to rise, close your eyes

Welcome to paradise

Oh, we can't see it dying out, little by little

And we don't know the hell we made

When we're right in the middle

On borrowed time, saving change, it's clear as crystal

They couldn't pay us enough to blow the whistle

On the road to oblivion (close your eyes)

Marching in our own death parade

Close your eyes, feel the rhythm (breathe the smoke)

An ancient debt that will be paid

On the road to oblivion (close your eyes)

Marching in our own death parade

Close your eyes, feel the rhythm

Welcome to paradise
