Shores of Elysium - Aftermath lyrics

Radiation thick like smoke suffocates what breathes on the surface A faint trace of a mushroom cloud makes man question his purpose Why are we here? We're we engineered to destroy? Rational men act as children Treating atomic bombs like toys Radiation thick like smoke suffocates what breathes on the surface A faint trace of a mushroom cloud reminds us that we're all f**ing worthless The whole damn worlds a contest To see who holds the biggest gun But when it's over and it's all said and done, no one has won Ode To the deceased Victims of ignorance Kus a collection of super rich a**holes can't set aside their arrogance Ode To the deceased Victims of ignorance We've fallen victim to a system of negligence Why are we here? We're we engineered to destroy? Rational men act as children Treating atomic bombs like toys No one reigns supreme, we are all human beings Stuck in a life without a plan, were all left searching for meaning The end will swiftly come, atomic bombs for everyone The calendar ends at the end of the year so go get yourself a gun Preach to your peers about the end of days Misguided pa**ion pushes paranoia Pray to a false god swearing to change your ways But don't say I didn't warn ya Our lives are trivial, our input is nothing Apocalypse is upon their lips We're at the mercy of the man with the fat ring Nothing but Flesh covered poker chips Everything's gone, a new day has dawned This ravaged earth is soiled with corpses Thousands of casualties that could have been avoided Lives ended by our armed forces
