Start Of The End Lyrics

Creation began to groan while the world was fast asleep

Men were busy fighting while the womenfolk would weep

In our search for comfort and new technologies

We had eaten from the Knowledge Trees

A pandemic like no other tore the world apart

We were stuck at home while fear struck in our hearts

The stadiums were empty, businesses were quiet

The hospitals were full and the streets were full of riots

We looked up to our leaders to give us clear directions

They took all our money and made us take injections

They lied to the public about their dark intentions

They spied through their cameras at every intersection

Is this the start of the end?

Is this a sign of the times?

Have we designed our own demise?

Heaven help us if we have no lifeline!

Is this the start of the end?

They poisoned all our paddocks, to make our food taste better

But they killed the insects who held it all together

They laced our food with sugar and millions died of cancer

They sold us more medicine 'cause they had no real answer

Instead of curing us they drugged us up with pills

We knew the truth was to fund the pharmaceuticals

They tagged us all like vermin so we lost autonomy

They borrowed billions just to save our economy

Is this the start of the end?

Is this a sign of the times?

Have we designed our own demise?

Heaven help us if we have no lifeline!

Is this the start of the end?

The glaciers were melting and the planet was on fire

The forests were burning and the outlook was dire

The oceans were rising up as fish disappeared

We were pumping our pollution straight into the air

We built hydro schemes so all our rivers were damned

We filled fields with solar panels and fossil fuels were banned

We made our cars electric and put windmills on each hill

We thought we'd save the planet with our collective skill

So we sent more rockets up to find new life on Mars

But the clocks, they had been ticking, and we had gone too far

We acted like we're gods, like we had it all together

The truth is we were blinded by our pride and love of pleasure

Is this the start of the end?

Is this a sign of the times?

Have we designed our own demise?

Heaven help us if we have no lifeline!

Is this the start of the end?
