The Final Overture

Exhausted and frail is my mind

At the end of my tether I find

This burning sign

A tale from ancient times

When we used to dream

Of eliminating crimes

Annoying as it seems

We had it all and more

Regardless of winters

We can't ignore

The Earth is due for closure

The final overture

Will destroy the break of day

And we've no prayers left to say

Predictable and sure

The final overture

Ominous and obscure

The final overture

The well of resources ran dry

As we celebrated

Loudly to drown out the cry

Dread it or be dead

Thought-obsessed we thought

In a future scene

We might bring ourselves to naught

In this God-made guillotine

It's too late to rectify

This grand exploitation

We can't deny

The earth is due for closure

The final overture

Will destroy the break of day

And we've no prayers left to say

Predictable and sure

The final overture

Ominous and obscure

The final overture

The earth is due for closure

The final overture

Will destroy the break of day

And we've no prayers left to say

Predictable and sure

The final overture

Ominous and obscure

The final overture

The earth is due for closure

The final overture

Will destroy the break of day

And we've no prayers left to say

And there's no prayer left to say

Bye...
