The Chilling Afterglow of Apathy
We've let the fire go out and the burning epoch ends here
Our long incend'ry journey from caves succumbed this year.
Prometheus will keep his liver but Man will spill his bile
For the stars have flickered out and hope's gone out of style.
My true love is silent, her voice left with the stars
Our ties together have reversed, because effect now searches for cause.
Our unborn children will live in a world roofed in starless decay
They will never know a horoscope but live uncertain ev'ry day.
Our broken hearts are manifest as we feel so terribly alone
Our hollow souls have already left us, forced as we are to roam.
Our future's certain by now, there's nothing for us there
So there's nothing for us here, nothing left to dare.
