Allegory Lyrics

Invincible, or so once thought

We see now through your defences, by some stroke of luck

Gasping, running, starving for days

A corpse-ridden wasteland burning its resources

Those who have run astray

Will meet their end in a meaningless way

Once our protectors

Now a single defect hurls

This world into madness

Lawless, flawless, utter chaos

Only purpose they shall know

Proliferate, destroy and bleed

Rivers of red, claustrophobic walls now constrict

As distress and despair at their throats grip

Haunting visions of what should've been

Ripped to shreds, toxic injection at their skin

Transforming beings grow

To something not quite like before

While we can only stare in horror

Last hope to live lie dead on the floor

Blind, bleeding and dazed

A world ablaze in flames

Memories no longer remain

Some take their lives in vain

As the air burns up and suspends

Know that this is the end

Rivers of red, claustrophobic walls now constrict

As distress and despair at their throats grip

Haunting visions of what should've been

Ripped to shreds, toxic injection at their skin

And so as quick as it came

All was eradicated, only themselves to blame

As the air grows cold, still one thing in their minds

To survive and kill - their sole purpose of life
