The armageddon theories - phase 3 - departure

For centuries we've ruled this bleeding earth, dethronement is about to occur
Collapse of mankind all knew it would come, yet still the race is shocked at the confrontation

Years of progress reduced to nothing, the price is high for our demise
No one will remain to remember, we take it all with us to our graves
So much work left unfinished, nothing will be left behind
No one will remain to remember, as history demands our death

Guilty or not your final day has dawned, ready or not suffer the apocalypse
End of the world as we - the dying - know it, ready or not departure is at hand

Departure occurs, vanishment of all our knowledge
Departure occurs, all our efforts turned to dust And when our bodies return the energy to earth
Something new will take our place, a new reality will rise

Departure occurs, vanishment of all our knowledge
Departure occurs, all our efforts turned to dust

[Individual:]
\"Mortified I confront the end, all I ever hoped for has met its end too soon
My days were numbered, but this is wrong
All my dreams, all my hopes cast into nothingness
Cast in stone that's what I thought, now I sense imminent demise of our race
And as I die nothing will remain, nothing is what I'll leave behind\"

Departure, ready or not departure is at hand
Departure, ready or not departure is at hand

Million by million human species expires
Energy of the bodies return to earth, preparing for the world's re-birth
Million by million we're wiped off the face of the earth A temporary hell on earth, disasters overflow
As nature rebels against us all, a chaos self-inflicted
Finally, the earth begins to heal, when no flesh has been spared
The powers of creation prepare for the world's re-birth

[Whisper:]
A temporary hell on earth, disasters overflow
As nature rebels against us all, a chaos self-inflicted
