"The Sixth Great Extinction" lyrics - THEOCRACY

[Phase one:]
As the world descends in darkness
Undone
Memories of the faithful burning in effigy
To read
Upon a human understanding
Renounce
All the unseen until nothing remains but you and me

[Chorus:]
Once upon the days of olden times gone by, the ancient stories told
The great awakenings that shook the hearts of kings
Now the skies are silent, a world where our will be done
Has the sixth great extinction come?

[Phase two:]
Self-convincing and illusion
That our relative morality
Philosophies are all that we need
To loose
All this immature devolution
Man, in his madness, pulls away into great apostasy

[Chorus:]
Once upon the days of olden times gone by, the ancient stories told
Of great awakenings that shook the hearts of kings
Now the skies are silent, a world where our will be done
Has the sixth great extinction come?

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge:]
All the wisdom of this world is foolishness
The history of man's opinions changing with the tide
Power to destroy the wisdom of the wise
The wise

[Chorus - Outro:]
Once upon the days of olden times gone by, the ancient stories told
Of great awakenings that shook the hearts of kings
Now we've forged a world where our will be done
Are we alive?
Are we alive?
Are we alive?
Or has the sixth great extinction come?
