Too proud of words and shy for rage
Spellbound inside the final days
Our silver tongues
Had fallen dumb
Now drunk on our delirium
Defying caution as the warnings came
We resolved to absolve ourselves of blame
And all along
We knew it wrong
Yet we danced into oblivion
Now, the rising tide obstructs the sun
Now the end is said and done
We’ve become
Our desolation
Now, capacity is overrun
Suffering has just begun
We’ve become
Our desolation
As our fate sharpened into view
Some yet denied what others knew
Ever petulant
Ever ignorant
The proud held fast, belligerent
Dire warnings were dismissed as haste
Logic and facts argued with faith
As avarice ran
Through exhausted land
With eyes darker than obsidian
Now, the rising tide obstructs the sun
Now the end is said and done
We’ve become
Our desolation
Now, capacity is overrun
Suffering has just begun
We’ve become
Our desolation
